Editor,

When Congress returns from its recess, it will consider whether or not to give Trump and the Pentagon an additional $200 billion for a war on Iran. The fact is that none of us, the majority of Americans, ever wanted this war the first place.

Well Harry - I was drafted and served 4 years during the Vietnam conflict. I am also on Medicare and I have no idea what you are talking about. For you and me there are no cuts or restrictions whatever. The Administration is cutting or curtailing Medicare benefits for those who are not eligible to begin with. You should be grateful.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Moody, but shouldn’t you first demonize individual states, such as California, for blowing taxpayer money? The fact is that over $200 billion of our taxpayer money is being wasted and stolen and yet, you’re attempting to blame Trump for the sins of others before him. A recent report shows California blew over $180 billion of our money. If you do meet Mullin, ask him why Democrats are willing to put the welfare of criminals and terrorists over the American people. How much money have Democrats blown to support these invaders? They’re the ones taking your Medicare money, not Trump. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
