I can only think of one reason to boost military and homeland security funding while withdrawing from the world stage - suppression of the US public and terrorizing the citizenry.

Bring On The Jackbooted Thugs. Federal ones, even.

Republicans love Federal police, just ask Cliven Bundy what he thinks about Bureau of Land Management!
Just ask Timothy McVeigh what he thinks about ATF and Lon Horiuchi.

You lost the right to complain when you stayed silent when you supported trillion dollar wars. Just sayin

"$37 trillion in debt needs to be doubled."

Don't worry, Trump will drive up the debt and bankrupt the country, just like you Confederates have always wanted.

It is as if Trump sees it as his duty to make Americans fear him, and the rest of the world to buy him off.
Are we sure Jared really didn't set up a good back door to the Kremlin? Much of what Trump is doing is pure Putin.

So are you unaware of or just ignoring the fact that these "cuts" are completely wiped out by the unnecessary boost in military spending?

And that's not even considering the tax cuts they're pushing...

Democrats tax and spend.
Republicans borrow and spend.
That's all there is to it.
