Unrelated to impeachment, but the recent numbers on government spending show that we spent more on farmers affected by the president's dumb trade war than we have on:

• NASA
• CHIP
• Maintaining our nuclear weaponry
• The entire State Department

I'm sure glad that the power of the purse lies with Congress and that the party of fiscal responsibility is taking things seriously!

Edit for one more piece of context:
Remember the auto bailout and how everyone was alarmed at the cost of it? Yeah, we've already spent over double that on the farmers, and that spending isn't stopping because the trade war is ongoing! Even once it ends, those markets aren't going to all return to American farmers because, get this, the purchasers are now using other suppliers!
