As for "pissing away billions" I nominate Trump's tax cuts and the boost in defense spending. Both these disasters are simply rewards to big donors. The rich hate government because they don't need it. They resent paying taxes for services they don't use. You and I need schools, roads, bridges, fire and police services because we can't pay for them privately. What's lacking here is a desire to create and sustain a cohesive society in which all members have the opportunity to enjoy healthy, productive lives. Trump's motto is Every Man for Himself.
