  • Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar-and it's taxpayers who lose. Rep. Porter invited witnesses to play JeoparDoD, to win oversight for the American people.

      She has my vote too. @Kimberly you are so right. I wish there was some way Katie & her brain trust staff could go through so much more AND get it fixed. It’s funny how the GQP can ‘find’ money to pad their rich friends’ wallets; however, when the public asks for a national healthcare plan, the GQP scream, rant, & rave about it being a socialist program that’s UnAmerican. Of course they also claim the country is too broke. In other words, 1: we shouldn’t make certain our veterans are properly cared for even though these brave men & women volunteered to join our military; they signed up to give their all, even their lives to protect this country. 2: politicians are the only ones who deserve the best healthcare, not US citizens who live paycheck to paycheck, often working without ANY health insurance because they can’t afford the premiums & they certainly can’t afford to pay out of pocket. 3: the GQP scream at the top of their lungs that national healthcare is socialist. It’s not! It isn’t the definition of socialism. The UK is a democracy. Their citizens pay a little higher taxes; however, they don’t have to fear going to the doctor because they can’t afford the visit. Healthcare for all would drastically reduce the number of citizens becoming disabled bc they couldn’t afford healthcare.

Absolutely we should cut the waste,close bases, close US bases, but the trillion dollar F-35 has been nothing but good for our economy and security.
      It is a difficult problem because the congress made the Navy use nuclear submarines, the Navy hated Admiral Rickover's ,the congress was right, the Navy was wrong. But usually congress wants to spend, and the defense department often didn't ask for it.

      Second, the F-35 is replacing the F-16. The F-16s were expensive when they were built. Decades later, they wore out and new technology had to take over. Enter the F-35. It is not a waste to modernize military jets.

    Why can’t politicians be more like Katie Porter instead of being a bunch of crooks and liars? I absolutely love her. She is what we need in the White House more of.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Show your support for Rep Porter by donating to her campaign. She's terrific and worthy of our votes and financial support.

      YES! Donate! I live in Pennsylvania but she is one of about 8 members of congress that I donate to monthly. Support the great ones no matter what state they are in. We all need them.

      Right on cue. You are a good employee. Or if you're just a volunteer, they should be paying you. You've found two dupes in less than 24 hours.
