Do you think this $120 billion money grab will easily sail through, or will there be even a slim chance it could stall or choke along the way? Ya know, if this money were refused, all our efforts, words and frustrations would be validated. Our troops would be on their way home and this nightmare of perpetual war would be over.
Just my opinion, but if those (representatives of the people) Congressmen would just stand up and REPRESENT US, they would say 'no' and this could be over!! Yes, I know that sayhing 'no' would set off a firestorm of "You don't support the troops by saying no".. But this all seems so easy, logically to simply cut off funding.

1. The majority in both Houses of Congress and in both Parties |

are not against the war, but for the war. Few of them even bother giving lip-service to the idea of ending the war. War makes money for their constituents - the corporations and the wealthy; all the rest of Americans are just peasants, serfs, garbage...
