      Well that’s what Trump said, right? We can’t have universal child care, Medicare, or Medicaid because we have to pay for war.

    Most of this is not money spent already, but what a small group of wealthy will receive over the next decade. And there will be more costs to increase that thievery.

    The bottom 99% will see a trickle of that money only

    Yet another stimulus for the rich.

    Cost a hell of a lot more if one figures in the DC Signal chats and the insider trading around the various war announcements. That’s a tax on the poor too.
