Establishment Puts Cronies Over Citizens On Missle Defense!

If this isn't a perfect example of how elected officials in the "swamp" become corrupted by it and forget who elected them to office to be their voice in Congress, then I don't know what is. Caution, reading this article might cause your hair to catch on fire, your last meal to appear before you, and your blood pressure to rise. So, please, heed my warning and be prepared!

As the article says, "Republicans banked votes, contractors banked the money, and America’s vulnerabilities deepened. Unless President Trump changes basic policy, the cycle repeats."

Actually, I would use another word for "deepened". I would personally prefer "worsened" because it more accurately describes the situation.
