You can't afford rent. You can't afford groceries. You can't afford to get sick. They found a billion dollars a day for bombs. The money exists. They just decided you don't deserve it ("INHABITANT", 20"x18", pencil on paper, ยฉLaurieLipton)

Interesting how the current government can fund war instantly but debates funding healthcare. We have a values problem, not a budget problem ("COLLATERAL DAMAGE 2005", 39"x34", charcoal & graphite on paper, ยฉLaurieLipton)

I can't think of a better analogy for the USA than the Epstein files. Mountains of evidence about powerful men r@ping children, and the only person in prison is a woman ("CANDY FROM STRANGERS 1974", 27.5"x33.5", pencil on paper, ยฉLaurieLipton)
