Social Security and welfare should not be used in the same sentence. We've all paid into Social Security. Using the word 'welfare' validates and feeds the old age Republican trope that Social Security is government overreach and unjust reward for the undeserving.   The second Iraq war, illegal by some accounts, was $2.4 trillion.  The Artemis space program is estimated at $93 billion. The estimated lifetime cost of the F-35 Lightening II is $1.6 trillion (a cost the Air Force admitted was too expensive). Forecasts of Trump's corporate tax cuts for 10-years is estimated at $750 billion. This country is awash in money. The problem is a reckless Republican Party void of care for the well being of the 99%.
