Drug addiction and alcoholism are
crippling millions of people, and devastating families and whole
communities. Yet there are not enough public treatment centers to handle
even a fraction of those seeking help, and many centers are closing

Somehow you come up with billions of dollars a year to operate 12
aircraft carrier battle groups!
With the $1,000,000,000 it takes to maintain just one of those aircraft

... or you could provide free prenatal care for 1,600,000 expectant
mothers, saving thousands of babies. [125]
... or enroll 384,000 more kids in the Head Start preschool program this
year. [126]
... or provide intensive drug or alcohol treatment for 333,000 people.
