Thirteen U.S. servicemembers have been killed. Nearly 400 troops have been wounded, and this war could end up costing taxpayers $1 trillion in the long term.
rising healthcare costs, and bigger electric bills. Republicans had the chance to rein in a Commander in Chief who threatens war crimes, attacks our allies, and is wrecking our economy. They chose to let him run rampant instead.
