Robert Reich:

We are spending an estimated B per day on the war on Iran.

Now Trump and Co want an extra 0B from Congress to fund the war.

But healthcare? Cut.

Food stamps? Cut.

Education? Cut.

Cancer research? Cut.

Environmental protections? Cut.

And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut.

It's obscene.
