Did You Know....
​According to the Pentagon, the direct military cost of the US-Iran war is estimated to be roughly $29 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
Historic Corruption....​
I recently read a book about the rise and fall of Ancient Greece. The similarities between America and Greece are striking. Both countries rose to prominence when power was shared rather than centralized, when their people cooperated and had strong civic participation, when there was trade and alliances with other countries, and when they had economic equality.
Both countries ran into trouble when they were impoverished by wars that drained their money and resources; when they severed ties to other countries and alliances eroded; when they had massive federal debt and economic inequality; when, instead of cooperation, there was competition; when their precious resources were depleted; when corruption exploded; and when they replaced citizen armies with mercenary troops.
From 2001 to 2022, we have spent an estimated $8 trillion on military engagements. In 2025 alone, we spent an estimated $1 trillion. That is a lot of taxpayer money feeding the military-industrial complex. Our government is increasingly relying on private military contractors and mercenary ICE agents.
D.C.’s crony capitalism has taken over every branch of government. President Trump has engaged in historic corruption through his cryptocurrency scheme, pay-to-play for government contracts, appointments, pardons, and favorable policy positions, financial trading, and merchandising.
90% of us feel the financial squeeze as this government transfers our wealth to the top 1%. Our inequality is criminal.
