Pentagon budget is roughly $780B; some argue it’s actually more. That’s hundreds of billions of $ more than military leaders even say they need. If we cut it 20% to make every public school in America a palace of learning, culture & the arts, our future would be far more secure.

There was a bill to cut it by 10% to take care of people during the pandemic and Kamala voted no - you might want to call out Kamala and Biden on this because they want to increase her defense budget

How about we pay down the national debt and reduce the deficit with that 20 percent

Pl learn Modern Money Theory: under fiat money system we can pay for all expenses with fiat money as long as we keep an eye on inflation.

Schooling and arts for the masses is not profitable for capitalist.

how about #MedicareForAll - it's hard for a person to appreciate education, culture, and the arts when they are sick or dead! :(

We so desperately need our schools, every classroom, to be a palace of learning.
