John Garamendi: “Our role here with regard to the Coast Guard is to make sure they are doing their task of maritime safety.”

Simply put, there is no way that a Golden Dome system that costs $185 billion could possibly live up to the promise of 'forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland.'

But the job is not done. I will continue the push to bring commonsense measures to Congress that invests in American maritime strength.

This pest and its associated disease pose a potentially catastrophic threat to these industries. If left unchecked, CDFA estimates that losses associated with PD/GWSS could eclipse $104 million annually.

Given the tremendous potential costs of a Golden Dome system, and the fallacy that it could shield the United States from a significant missile attack, the American people deserve answers.
