many items on your list are already funded thru proper agencies. We have had a habit of double funding. It employed many "Somali type" ventures.

much time to tear down this country...this budget fits...especially since U.S. Military aid to Ukraine is being curtailed at the same time.

apparently you didn’t know that…and DJT is refusing to use that incredible power to stop Putin in Ukraine. Vlad and his crew are more savvy than folks like you and want to see us become financially unstable and therefore much less of a threat.

Trump won’t let rational Conservatives negotiate with Democrats to achieve what Clinton did…I,e, a SURPLUS…and truly make America GREAT!
