Pentagon Begs Congress to Fund an Illegal War

The American military machine finally ran out of cash. The Defense Department desperately needs $80 billion to cover its massive bills. Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg quietly delivered the extortionate request to lawmakers. The Pentagon blew billions of dollars fighting a brutal war against Iran. They completely depleted their critical weapons stockpiles during the massive bombardment. Now, they threaten to cut troop deployments at the Mexican border. They essentially hold domestic security hostage to fund foreign destruction.

Ignoring the Constitution

Donald Trump waged this entire war without any formal congressional approval. He blatantly violated the War Powers Act weeks ago. The law gives the president exactly 60 days to secure legislative backing. Trump ignored the law and dropped the bombs anyway. Now, his generals demand the American taxpayers foot the astronomical bill. The government always finds limitless money for death and destruction. They claim poverty when citizens ask for basic healthcare or functional roads.

The military-industrial complex bleeds you dry. Unmask the corruption at The WAU right now.
