President Eisenhower warned us about the Military Industrial Complex on his way outta office. Too bad he couldn’t do something about it while in office. We wouldn’t be such a Police State today.

I want to cut all government spending by 2 trillion. Can I get a congressperson to sponsor that?

Replying to @marwilliamson
its a shame there isn't a chance in hell .@SpeakerPelosi would support it, i can even guarantee a president .@JoeBiden would veto it before it touched his desk. no change will come as long as gov't is run by corporations and the military-industrial complex.

Introducing a bill that will never see the light of day is like doing nothing at all...
Replying to @marwilliamson
No this is what happens when Reps who are receptive to their constituents demands. @SpeakerPelosi and Dem Leadership will never let this bill to the floor for a vote.
