$778B Pentagon budget for ONE YEAR. Yet many in Congress act as though $4.5T total over the next few years is too much to spend to fix the damage caused by years of neglecting our people, infrastructure and real security. Even after Iraq and Afghanistan the corruption continues.

None of that money is actually going to fixing those things. Nothing will change if these bills pass except prices going up even more everywhere.

remember when, upon withdrawing from Afghanistan—you tweeted, ostensibly, that we shouldn’t be leaving? lmaoo “progressive” my ass, you’re part of the problem.

As long as voters are given no other options than corporate owned Dems & Reps it’ll never change. They’re both corrupt. Not interested in “lesser” of two evils. Evil is evil.

When it’s money that goes toward helping people, they will fight tooth and nail and pinch every penny they can. When it’s money for war or subsidies to large corporations, they will light their own wallets on fire as tribute.

It's really sickening!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because we have way too many corporate politicians. Almost all republicans and over half Dems only represent corporations and billionaires.

The two infrastructure bills would be $4.5 Trillion over about 10 years ... In 10 years the defense department will have spent about $8 Trillion dollars!

Just glad we’ve been so financially responsible as a nation that we can afford all these things. 👊

*$3.5 Trillion is what’s struggling to get passed right now.
