10. How will Democratic politicians lower the debt?

If it wasn't for Republican tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires and unnecessary and ill-advised wars in the Middle East, the US would have very little debt. The best thing which could be done to reduce the debt is to keep Republicans out of office.

How to "keep America safe"? By not having a president who negotiates based on what he personally can get out of a deal, rather than what is best for the US. By not appointing a Secretary of Defense that may fall off the wagon at any time. By not keeping that astoundingly unqualified Secretary of Defense when he leaks battle plans. By not appointing as the Department of Homeland Security terrorism prevention lead a 22 year old straight out of college with no experience in anything relevant other than kissing up to Trump. And, most importantly to keep America safe, by not further destabilizing the US with a tax plan which sucks trillions of dollars from the 95% of working Americans to pump into the bank accounts of 5% of Americans.
