Austerity for the patriots! Stop complaining!

And send us an additional $200 billion for the war we started without any good reason! Imminence is subjective. Forgiving student and healthcare loans is a waste of money and a moral hazard. We need $200 billion more to kill bad guys!

Learn to code. Wait, scratch that. Learn to gamble on random events!
