An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Your Constituents Need Healthcare and Nutrition Not War.

I want you to pass an Iran War Powers Act and stop this senseless war now. Thousands of lives have been lost because Trump chose war instead of inspection of the Iraqi nuclear facilities. However let me put the cost of the war in economic terms for you. We spend about $1 billion per day on this war. SNAP costs $7.72 billion/month. You could literally feed 41.7 million of us for about 8 days cost of the war. The Trump and Republicans Big Beautiful Bill will remove 5 million from Medicaid. The savings, according to the Congressional Budget Office is $32.6 billion. About one month of the Iraq war. You could provide Medicaid for those 5 million people for 3 years for the cost of this war. BTW Medicaid work requirements don’t work - Check Arkansas who tried it and failed.” The long and the short of it is you are responsible for how our taxes are spent. You are wasting our money on a war that is unneeded and horribly expensive. If you wanted to really save money and the Treasury you would pass a war powers resolution and stop it.
