   Debt is traditional for large projects, military or no. That means   
   future taxpayers who use it will pay for some of it rather than current   
   taxpayers paying the whole bill but getting little use before they   
   become former taxpayers.   
      
   However that requires sane consideration of realistic future income to   
   be reasonably sure 0future the debt could be paid. With Reagan the   
   Republicans went insane and made up wild predictions of future tax   
   collections.   
      
   Trickle down is bullshit that rich will invest enough to create ever   
   more prosperous businesses. The problem is for now the economy is driven   
   by consumption with excessive production. Getting more money to poor and   
   middle class will increase consumption and improve the economy. The   
   whoring of Democrats and Republicans to the rich does the opposite.

   We educate DACA and other children knowing they will grow up, start   
   paying taxes, and pay for the next generation of children.   
      
   It is only a problem because Republicans unleashed bigotry as a campaign   
   device. Seeing what Democrats faced after Truman desegregated the Army   
   should have taught them not to juggle grenades. But winning races was   
   more important.   
      
   When I was young California was a swing state and bigotry against   
   Mexicans and chicanos was de rigeur.   
      
   Then Republicans used bigotry in campaigns in  state appealing to the   
   terror of white replacement. That backfired in state.
