Letter: Republicans should be put under microscope, too

Treason: One nuclear submarine could destroy any country on Earth before the Reagan presidency. Yet the Republicans still spent trillions of the national wealth on defense. They have continued to spend trillions more after the Cold War ended in 1989.

Bribery: Republicans have received billions in explicit or implicit bribes from defense contractors, tobacco companies, billionaires and polluters.

Other high crimes and misdemeanors: Republicans made the United States the largest debtor nation in world history, consistently oppose raising the minimum wage, and regularly oppose funds for education, the environment and health care.
