we guarantee that no cuts will happen to any social programs because of it?

Can we enact something like the:

War Profiteering Act of 2007

Similar to the goals of the renegotiation acts to control excessive war profits, the War Profiteering Act of 2007 (“WPA”) seeks to amend the federal criminal code to prohibit profiteering and fraud by levying more stringent penalties on such illegal actions. The WPA provides in relevant parts that it shall be a violation of law for any person involved in the performance of a contract “in connection with a war, military action, or relief or reconstruction activities within the jurisdiction of the United States Government,” who “ knowingly and willfully” defrauds or attempts to defraud the government or “materially overvalues any good or service with the specific intent to defraud and excessively profit from the war, military action, or relief or reconstruction activities.”38 A contractor found to have overcharged the government may be fined the greater of $100,000 or not more than twice the gross profits or other proceeds derived from the overvaluation.39 In addition, such parties may also be subject to imprisonment for up to not more than ten years.

What is the cost of this war?

Why is Obama not representing the American people?

What about the deficit that everyone screams about?

Why was chained CPI on the table, but war is not?

Etc, etc, etc....


I could not be more dissatisfied with my representation in the White House.
