Congressman Crow’s focus on servicemember support is commendable, but let’s cut through the spin. While returning $14.7M to Colorado sounds impressive, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the $886B defense budget greenlit by Congress—loaded with pork like the Pakistan Democracy Act (H.R. 2311), which prioritizes foreign nation-building over veterans sleeping on Denver’s streets.

Bipartisan wins? Try bipartisan waste. Buckley Space Force upgrades matter, but D.C. still burns cash on bureaucratic bloat instead of slashing VA wait times or tackling the fentanyl crisis killing 300+ Coloradans yearly.

Real support means auditing every dime, not rubber-stamping defense contractor wish lists while troops and vets get scraps.
