Investing in Children Before Missiles: Redirecting Funds to Education

This act proposes halting the costly Sentinel missile program and redirecting the saved funds to support children's education. This could mean more resources for schools and educational programs, potentially improving teaching quality and access to resources for students. Instead of new missiles, the plan is to extend the life of the current Minuteman III missiles.
