A small loan of 200bn to “kill bad guys”, and maybe buy some lobster.
You know – just the essentials of life.
What did you say? You can barely afford food and are horrified you may die if you get sick because you can’t pay health care? Damn. That is crazy. Have you tried some small insider trading to make a few hundred millions here and there?

I read that $200B would pay off all American medical debt or make trade schools free for 20 years.
Instead, we blow up some buildings half way across the world and accomplish jack shit for the average American. Absolutely ludicrous.

Why would the be granted access to more money when they didn’t even attempt to go through the proper procedures required to start a war legally.
They want more government money to continue with their illegal operation.

Why do we have to allocate $200 billion to fund a war that’s already over with the enemy’s military completely obliterated? Based on what the president and his underlings say this seems like completely unnecessary and wasteful government spending.

Here is an idea. Lets take that 200bn an actually spend it on americans.
Do you know how many YEARS we could give people 10-weeks of paid maternity leave for that money? We could open 20 hospitals across the country and have them give FREE healthcare to anyone for 20? years. We could build like 600,000 starter homes across the country and GIVE THEM AWAY (more like 2M starter homes and sell them for a discounted price to citizens who don’t own any property).
I’d really prefer our govt doesn’t literally strap cash onto a missile and fire it at a mountain 10,000 miles away from home.

This would be Congress’ opportunity to say “lol na, maybe if you had asked us beforehand…”
Ya know, like in a normal government where checks and balances are intact and branches jealously guard their powers?

Yeah, no. Vote these clowns out and vote for the ones that will jail them. They need to be made examples of. Spread it around and get it moving folks. Enough is enough.
1) Vote any politician dem or republican out for supporting the Trump administration.
2) Vote any recipient of AIPAC money out or don’t give them your vote.
3) Vote for anyone that promises to try and jail all these criminals. They are criminals at this point.

I am increasingly radicalized by the asinine spending of our budget on expensive missiles when we got people without health insurance and children without nutritious food, dudes without homes, tons of infrastructure to be rebuilt and repaired, how about they seek these nuts in their mouth
