We have to fight for every dollar of funding for housing, education, health care, and taking on climate change. But last week, the House approved $768 billion in annual military spending.
Here’s the bottom line: Investments in our people and communities should come before bloated military spending. Yet, a bipartisan majority in Congress just voted to INCREASE defense spending to an amount that is more than Donald Trump’s last Pentagon budget. That is completely upside down.
I voted against this excessive budget because it’s a giveaway to defense contractors and giant corporations, all while millions of people in this country have to struggle without health care, affordable housing, and fully funded schools.
Here’s another bottom line: We don’t need to give the military MORE money than we gave to it under Trump. Part of undoing the damage Trump did in office is spending our energy and federal dollars battling climate change, strengthening the social safety net, and expanding health care. Congress should not be wasting money on military bloat.
That’s why I’ve championed a 10 percent cut to military spending AND fought so hard to invest in health care, education, paid leave, housing, and the fight against climate change in the Build Back Better Act.
In solidarity,
Pramila
