$67,000,000,000 to pay for a war nobody wanted but the GOP. An additional $11,000,000,000 for farms, currently beleaguered with disease, tariffs, and fuel/fertilizer costs--all exacerbated by GOP policies. Our current budget deficit (the budget the GOP voted for) is $1,250,000,000,000.00.

An arch of triumph communicates not the highest ideals of the United States but a craven desecration of the efforts of those sent to protect us. Let others worship success, but our memorials are more than mere acclamation. We understand war is a passion for justice, not an indulgence in vengeance.
