Working people need our leaders in power to work for them and put their interests first. A wasteful birthday military parade does nothing to help working families pay their bills, lower their costs, or keep their health care.

The birthday parade money could pay for 4 million Meals on Wheels meals, enough to cover 10,000 hungry and isolated seniors for an entire year.

$45 million could pay for GI Bill benefits for 3,000 veterans, showing our nation’s thanks to our brave soldiers with the college or vocational training we promised after their service.

$45 million could provide more than 10 million school lunches, enough to feed 56,000 hungry kids – whose only warm meal each day could be at school – for an entire year.

There’s an estimated 33,000 homeless veterans in the United States. With $45 million, our government could provide housing for 6,500 of those forgotten heroes.

About 1 in 5 veterans go to bed hungry each day. The money used for Trump’s birthday parade could provide SNAP food assistance for nearly 18,000 veterans for an entire year.

President Trump’s birthday military parade is estimated to cost $45 MILLION. Here’s a list of a few ideas of what they could be doing with that money instead:

Rough series of events for us all. I poked around my archives and found this little snowy plover scampering around the beach.
