I fully understand you don't support it. That money could be spent to.......
I don't think using the argument that "the people" voted for something really works when the official did not win the popular vote. It can also be turned around to be said that with a more recent mandate, the 2018 election, the people voted to not want this with the turnover of the House. That being the origin point for all spending bills.
