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…

Nothing over 10% has a remote chance to get passed imo. I agree should be way more but it is a start.

We could afford a 20 to 30% cut and STILL have the largest military budget in the world.

To get the ball rolling I'd guess. Mitch can totally table this bill, but if it's only 10% maybe he'll risk a vote.

It's because they have to spend $84 million on erectile dysfunction pills. #patrioticboners

How's about ask for 90% cut and see what that gets us. 🤔

Get elected, then kibbitz

To be fair. A 10% cut is actually 20-40% reduction from the inevitable increase that will happen instead.

Why spend it at all?

It’s a good start. And it is hard to accuse him of decimating the military. Also, once the public sees the positive results, they will want more
