Dear Editor,

Let’s do some math regarding the performance of our elected representatives in Washington.

131,000 schools in the U.S.

$54 billion sent to Ukraine and defense contractors.

$54 billion divided by 131,000 =

$412,000 per school that could have been available to the states to help secure the safety of students and teachers.

I suggest that Charles Grassley, Joni Ernst, and my representative in the house, Randy Feenstra, should sell their assets and donate it to Ukraine and the defense industry as a sign of honesty.
