That you would ask the republican and democrat 2020 party nominees, if you could. (My meaning being, is a question(s) that you would ask both nominees, not of just one party or the other.)

Your party owns half of a 22 trillion dollar debt, what do you intend on doing about this debt once you are in office?

Republican Party: "Since you sold your soul to the devil in 2016, how are you enjoying the ride on that Boeing 737 Max and how long will it take to pick up the pieces after impact?"

Democratic Party: "Everybody knows that you're not so much a political party as a collection of ideologies. How are you going to put together a platform that, instead of satisfying all of the crazies who self-identify as Democrat, actually appeals to enough voters to, you know, win the election?"
 
Do you have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the defense contractors and get us out of the war for profit mode we've been in for decades?

This isn't the biggest problem in our country. Remember when Cheney said "deficits don't matter".

What people don't seem to understand is that 70% of that debt is owed to who?

The American people in T-bonds.
 
How can you justify the FED continuing to keep interest rates low? Isn't this causing more long time damage to the economy?
 
If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

True, it was just a question. But it was a better question than the softball crap the candidates get lobbed nowadays. Also a bigger/better concern than the concerns the presidential candidates feed their followers like immigration. If they actually gave a crap about immigration... it wouldn't be a problem. I mean we've had 2 centuries to correct it and have yet to do so. I read an article on immigration recently that showed that the rich made over 1 billion dollars holding illegal aliens in one year, may have been multiple billions. It made me see the "immigration problem" in a whole new light.

"Illegal" immigrants pay over 12 billion dollars a year in taxes.

This is one of the many things that goes completely unnoticed by those wanting them out.

Companies, like the one Trump runs, hire them all the time fully knowing:
  • They can't get healthcare.
  • They can exploit their condition.
  • They can keep their wages VERY low.
  • They can fire them whenever they want.
Now they've "misplaced" over 3000 children they detained at the border.

Fucking SHAMEFUL...

Bro... I do... My cousin did 4 tours in Iraq another is on his 4th in Afghanistan.

War is waged by rich, chickenhawk, draft dodgers. It's fought by the poor.

My family has been in every war since ww2 save for the first gulf war. Which happened when I was in fucking high school. I thought it ended with my generation but nope. My wife's nephew is all sorts of fucked up from Afghanistan.

He's disabled at 24 or some shit. For what?

I took Trump's place over there and got permanently disabled because of it. Thanks Trump.

It is not right man.
Some where we lost our way in what to fight for and what results we should attempt to achieve.

When we fight then it should be to kick ass, and nothing other than that. Go to it and get the hell out. Wasting young people on trying to make a better place of some place is beyond your duty as a leader and our right as a country. Going after Ben Laden in Afghanistan was right, trying to improve the place was a goal way too far and an unreasonable request of those that serve as well as unfair to the people that live there.

That said though, military service is not all bad for young people. My Navy days were very good for me, but then I don't feel I was unnecessarily exploited.
Perhaps used a bit, but overall a positive exchange.

Geez! Full Sad Sack!

I think of my days of serving in the US Navy as mostly very positive. A good thing for me to have done. If I had a son that would have been called on to serve in Vietnam, I would have strongly urged him to go to Canada. I had no faith what so ever in Johnson's conjured up war. His Gulf of Tonkin incident was total bullshit openly apparent to me at the time.

I was also very proud of our Senator from Oregon that opposed the war. Wayne Morse, I think he was the only Senator to oppose the war. He was a Democrat. But he converted from Republican.
I wonder which opposed the war?
