Did You Know....
​According to the Pentagon, the direct military cost of the US-Iran war is estimated to be roughly $113 billion. According to Iran-cost-ticker.com the cost is more than 3 times that and counting. The death toll, including the 175 children killed at a school, 13 U.S. soldiers killed and 346 wounded, 1,508 civilians killed and over 21,000 wounded, is a direct result of the war. The effects of the war will be long lasting. To learn the truth, go to Taxpayers For Commonsense, a non-partisan budget watchdog:

Letter of the Week
Social Security....​
The political right hated FDR. They called him a traitor to his class. For decades, they have been trying to dismantle his New Deal. Those social safety net programs were wildly successful in reducing poverty and income inequality in a fiscally sound manner. However, the radical right has chiseled away at unions and fair labor standards, depressing wages for middle- and low-income workers. By reducing banking and financial regulations, they have placed our economy at greater risk of crisis, as we have seen in the Savings and Loan crisis and the 2008 and 2020 recessions.
Now, President Trump and his billionaire friends are coming after our Social Security. Politically, they cannot end the program because it is popular, but they can decimate it with a thousand little cuts. Trump is reducing its revenue by cutting taxes, forcing out thousands of government employees, reducing our pool of working immigrants, and tightening eligibility requirements, supposedly to attack nonexistent fraud. All this is meant to damage a very efficient and effective government program so they can continue their lie that government is the problem and we must privatize programs. Please contact your representatives and ask them to fix Social Security ASAP by eliminating the tax cap and raising the payroll tax rate. Do not let Trump defraud our Social Security insurance system the way he did his business ventures.
