Phased withdrawal, out within 2 years. Let them deal with their own shit.  
Cutting spending \> spending on domestic programs that actually have utility \> escalation of financial commitment to the previous administration’s (with John McCain’s support 100% of the way and previously with Hillary Clinton’s) GIGANTIC fuckup. It’s at half a TRILLION dollars and counting. That’s $20,000 per person, including kids, the elderly, and the unemployed people you love so much. Your share is probably closer to 40. I don’t see how anyone voting based on economics can not have that impact their decision.
