Five questions that need to be asked and answered at every town hall and every press conference
1. How much do the wars cost us each day?

2. How much revenue do these wars bring us?

3. How much do the tax breaks to millionaires cost us each day?

4. How much revenue do these tax breaks bring in? (Tales of alleged job creation don't count--actual figures from the CBO).

5. How much campaign cash did you take from the corporations who get these tax breaks?

6. Thanks Patrice. I took a little bit of a sabbatical for awhile, finished my
