Hillbilly wisdom: you leave the dance with the one who brought you to the dance. Ultimately, there can only be one leader. Lots of Indians but only one Chief. So it is not surprising that the Republicans align themselves with President Trump and the Democrats align themselves on the other side of the aisle. Both sides are going down with the ship. Sadly the United States is not being run for the people by the people. Both parties serve ??? Unwise decisions are placing the United States in a dire financial situation.

The department of defense is asking for a budget increase of six hundred billion over this year, plus 80 billion for the replacement of munitions used in Iran War. This is the same department of defense under the guidance of the same president that got us involved in a Middle East war and to date has failed to show why. Defense of the nation is the mission. But the lack of judgment in depleting our weapons supply in the Middle East, without any rational explanation to Congress, is unacceptable. If you give the monkey matches and dynamite you should expect an explosion. There is nothing to stop similar events in the future if you blindly reload. Solidarity is fine to a point. But there is a point where it becomes stupidity. How far will our representatives allow this to go before they say enough?
