Today the main differences between GOP and DMC is:

GOP want to make more debt to build stronger and stronger military, DMC want to make more debt to give free lunch to whoever want to cross the country's border unchecked.

In both ways, ther result will be the demise of US, there is already 21+ trillion dollars in debt whose yield rates are kept artificially low by the actions of th FED.

Actually, giving people free lunches and getting more people spending in the economy will be a good thing. Whereas throwing money into a hole like the US military does nothing to help spur domestic economic growth. Even in your extremely simple reduction the intelligent choice (in terms of what would be better for the country) is completely obvious.

It's not. Giving people money to be unproductive will always lead to inflation. There is less incentive work and procude goods = less goods being produced or no inovation to improve productivity. It means that in the long run, there will be less goods and more money flowing in the economy = the money value will fall and the prices of the goods will rise.

It was tried countless times on several nations through the past century: printing money and giving to everybody  and the result was always hyperinflation.
