An Open Letter

To: Sen. Risch, Rep. Simpson, Sen. Crapo

From: A constituent in Boise, ID

August 21, 2025

So, you call yourself a fiscally responsible republican? You’re just fine with spending 400 million for camp Florida which breaks down to about $150,000 per person held there. $1 billion to retrofit an airplane for the president’s personal use? $200 million for an unneeded ballroom for the White House? How about the $2.4 million for ICE to buy specially outfitted Tahoe’s and $174,000 to wrap them in gaudy designs? But we cannot afford Meals on Wheels for the elderly, school lunches for children; we cannot afford to pay for cancer research or research for Alzheimer’s? You have lost your mind. This is not American. This does nothing for the people of Idaho!Stop your spineless wasteful spending for this regime. I would like a written answer to these questions. How are you justifying these expenditures of our tax dollars?
