When Republicans says "Democrats won't fund the troops."

Democrats should respond forcefully:

"Not for another unprovoked, ilegal war, we won't!

"It will cost the American public ONE BILLION DOLLARS a Day!" "Taxpayers: Do you want to pay for that with BILLIONAIRES paying relatively nothing?" "Truce NOW."
