Why only 10%?

Why do we spend more on the military than the next 11 nations combined? I have a better idea: Cut Pentagon spending by 10% and invest it in the fight to end homelessness, hunger and poverty in the richest country on Earth. nitter.vloup.ch/i/broadcasts/1DX…

The Pentagon hasn't been audited in DECADES! The waste there alone could keep everyone healthy, educated, and we'd still be spending too much on Military budgets that go to Corp CEO's and their Chairmen at 10 MILLION Salaries each, and with no Regulations on their greed.

YES - how bout 90% and save the planet from climate collapse. Employ all people to do eco-system restoration - planting trees, gardens ... loving nature. We are insane!

Cause 10% adds up to be a gazillion dollars?

Jesse Ventura said when he wins he’s going to use the military budget to solve climate change and fight a war on climate change

why not 70%? We are supposed to be a nation of peace right, we don't need to meddle in the affairs of other nations or be world police.

If elected as the Green Party candidate for President, I would seek a 75% cut in the military budget to fund a #GreenNewDeal and to invest in people, not military domination. We should be the world leader in humanitarian aid. Also demilitarize the police. howiehawkins.us/the-ecosocia…
