Or just end homelessness. That would be sweet
And the existential crisis of climate change. Which will wipe us out.
Because there are only 48 votes to pass voter legislation. It really isn't that hard to understand.

Maybe because the reason is not to defend the country but to pad the coffers of @RaytheonDefense @LockheedMartin et al
