Missile Launch Facility Costs Revealed: How Your Tax Dollars Are Being Spent on Outdated Defense Systems
A new government report has uncovered that billions of your tax dollars are quietly being funneled into maintaining aging missile launch facilities, many of which are decades past their intended lifespan.

You're paying for these sites whether they are operational or not, as closure would cost even more in environmental cleanup. Demand your representatives explain why your budget is being strapped by a missile launch facility that has outlived its purpose.
