A: There's too much capacity of wasteful spending. There's a number of concerns, including that people are hurting economically but the amount they've received from a stimulus check is just a fraction of the total package. China is doing everything they can to instill a lack of confidence across the globe and destabilize the dollar, and we're racking up trillions of dollars in debt. I worry about that from a national security standpoint.
When you look back at the [2020 presidential] election, there is so much fog around the issue. It's hard to say if Biden really received about 81 million votes. I don't think anyone really knows, but you had people from both sides who lacked confidence. During my work in national security, one of our metrics for success for spreading democracy overseas is whether there's confidence in the election system. That's why the leaders here have adopted the changes.
"The most important thing we do as a country is restore national confidence and pride. My goal is to ignite the patriot in everyone I come across."
A: If it was solely an infrastructure package, then I think many Americans would want to give it a serious look. But from what I've read, only a fourth of it is going into traditional infrastructure. It's a hike in taxes at a time when some of these corporations can just jump ship and move overseas.
