Billions more for defense spending with hardly any debate? Why was 
Congress unable to pass the several million dollars less human 
infrastructure bill? Now with escalation of war we have encouraged 
more pollution and death on the planet. Climate catastrophe is now 
inevitable. I am glad I chose not to have children(and fear now that 
the right to have an abortion will be taken away, creating a 
permanent underclass). Our American Empire will eventually collapse 
under the weight of military-industrial complex spending(you must 
know we spend more than any country on earth). When a country no 
longer helps its citizens make their lives better no wonder there is 
so much division and the country will crumble. I'm happy you are 
trying to save the Republic by serving on the 1/6 Commission, but I 
hope it's not too late. Let's tax the multibillionaires. Here is 
where our taxes should go to save the planet and the Republic: 
childcare system like in France, eldercare, subsidize cleaner energy 
development, house the homeless, give poor parents more tax breaks, 
fund public health system and COVID treatments, overhaul our broken 
mental health system, protect medication abortion, public transit, 
fund strategic climate retreat from flood-prone areas, prevent 
further home building in the wildland-urban interface, pay Forest 
Service firefighters a living wage, help protect citizens' right to 
vote, and probably I could add more.
