Our government is proposing a nearly $1,000,000,000,000 Pentagon budget, more than the next ten countries combined. This excessive military expenditure is taking place while Congress simultaneously cuts crucial lifelines for the working class, including debt relief, affordable healthcare, student loans, and Social Security.
This massive budget is funding outdated ships, malfunctioning planes, dangerous nuclear weapons, and enabling corrupt military contractors. Our tax dollars are funneled into an unending spiral of increased military spending, leaving our schools, hospitals, and infrastructure in dire straits.
The message from the government seems clear, they cannot afford to uplift our people but can afford an increasingly bloated military budget. Well, we are here today to say NO to bloated military spending while our schools lack resources. NO more limitless Pentagon budgets while Americans struggle to afford healthcare. NO more investing in conflict while the climate crisis worsens.
It’s time for Congress to prioritize the needs of the people. That means investing in programs that will truly make our country stronger and more equitable while cutting the bloated Pentagon budget.
