End Wasteful Defense Contracts NOW!
To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Crockett, Sen. Cruz
From: A constituent in Dallas, TX
February 25
I am absolutely furious at the ongoing wasteful defense contract spending that continues to bleed American taxpayers dry! This is not just reckless—it’s downright irresponsible and should be an outrage to anyone who claims to serve the people of this country. It’s time for Congress to end this disaster and put a stop to the ridiculous amounts of money being thrown at failed contracts that accomplish nothing but lining the pockets of defense contractors who clearly do not have our best interests at heart. Every year, billions of dollars are poured into defense contracts for products that are overpriced, late, ineffective, and sometimes completely unnecessary. These contractors get away with wasteful, shoddy work while Americans suffer—whether it’s through higher taxes or the complete neglect of vital public services. Meanwhile, the defense industry, one of the most profitable sectors in the world, continues to rake in more taxpayer money, and for what? Subpar equipment and a system of constant failure. How much longer will we continue to tolerate this blatant waste of taxpayer dollars? How much longer will we let corporations who have already made billions get away with stealing from the American people? These contracts don’t protect us—they make a handful of CEOs richer, while the American people are left with nothing to show for it. And to add insult to injury, Congress keeps approving more of these contracts, as if it’s some kind of game. We need to end this farce NOW. We cannot keep throwing money into a broken system that does nothing to improve our military or our country’s security. The funds being wasted on these defense boondoggles could be put to far better use—investing in healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social programs that actually benefit the people who matter: the American citizens. Stop enabling this corporate greed. Demand accountability and transparency. It’s time for Congress to step up, cut the waste, and show some real leadership. The American people deserve better than to be fleeced by defense contractors year after year. I expect Congress to act on this now. We cannot afford any more of this reckless spending. End the wasteful defense contracts, and make those who have profited from this mess pay the price.
