Except for the blatant fact that the Republican's keep hijacking the money needed by giving he uber wealthy humongous tax cuts so that there is less and less money to keep the government functioning and then they have to have charges and fees for even the most basic things.

I have no idea of how the many billions in Tax cuts the Republican Congress and Trump passed a few years ago, but it could have easily covered things like the National Parks and tons of other things.......

AND don't even get me started on the infinite ***king tax cuts corporations have received, as well as all the Corporate Welfare money that is increasing every single year.......

AND, of course, you can't leave out the Gargantuan Military Industrial Complex costs like Ike warned about.
