A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.
So…..fraud and waste? Eh?!?!

KHANNA: Their policies aren't working on the economy. You can't cut $880b of Medicaid. That means the closure of hospitals and people getting kicked off healthcare

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
