2. It is at least twice as much as the TOTAL we spend on SNAP

you know, that program that helps ensure that every child has access to a minimal amount of nutrition. That is about $80 billion a year. When you add up all the dark programs -- and a big part of the Pentagon budget has gone dark, it is undoubtedly over $200 Billion a year, and may be closer to $600 billion a year if you could account for all of it.

Before we cut one penny of nutritional assistance -- before we cut one dime for pre-school education -- before we close one more public school for lack of funding, Americans must demand to know just how much we are spending for this illegal, unconstitutional authoritarian machine.
