We’ve all heard about the ridiculous spending of the Pentagon; the $640 toilet seats, the $37 screws, the millions of dollars unaccounted for.
Add your name if you think that the first budget cut Congress makes should be to end the waste at the Pentagon. Sign our petition to Congress: It’s time the Pentagon — NOT essential services — saw budget cuts!
But year after year, the federal budget siphons billions more dollars toward the Pentagon while the essential social services and programs that serve millions of everyday Americans struggle to stay afloat.
The Pentagon's astronomical budget could more than adequately support the Departments of Education, State, AND Agriculture all at once.
Our schools would thrive, our nation’s farmers would be supported and harvests would be fruitful, and our national security would be top-notch. We could invest in the advancement of medical care and coverage, ending the housing crisis, and feeding our nation’s hungry.
Even knowing this, the GOP’s House Freedom Caucus is pressing for spending cuts for our most important social programs and MAGA policy concessions, bringing us closer to a shutdown, and Congress is getting ready to approve a record-breaking $886 BILLION Pentagon budget.
Please, join us in urging Congress to make budgetary cuts addressing the Pentagon's excesses and preserve our nation’s social programs that millions rely on.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
