Trump's War Just Hit Your Wallet | TMP #1081
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every war has a cost.
Most Americans assume that cost is measured on a battlefield.
But long before most of us ever see the headlines, working families begin paying in another way—at the gas pump.
Today's Opening Argument tells the story of Jake and Ashley, a young couple just trying to build a life together. They don't make foreign policy. They don't sit in the Situation Room. Yet the decisions made in Washington still find their way into their checking account.
After the Opening Argument, we dive into General's latest Coffman Chronicle article examining Congress's brief effort to reassert its constitutional war powers and why Article I matters far beyond the halls of Congress.
This isn't just a conversation about presidents, senators, or political parties.
It's about whether the great American working class still has a constitutional voice before the costs of war arrive at their doorstep.
If you're good enough to build this country, you're good enough to have a voice in how it's run.
