Even after the catastrophe in Afghanistan, or perhaps because of it, the military industrial complex is working to protect their profits. Unbelievable.

BREAKING: House GOP just quietly submitted an amendment to increase Pentagon spending by $25 BILLION. That would bring our defense budget to $778 BILLION. They want billions more for war even as we WITHDRAW FROM AFGHANISTAN. We HAVE TO stop this amendment. Please share this.

Quietly it will pass with bipartisan support.

Shocking! The Pentagon wants more money after losing a war to people who have no clue about WalMart. Let's think about this. #kabul #GDP #Afganisthan #congress #biden #US

Yes ... the Military Industrial Complex has become a living entity ... It's voraciously demanding food ... even though it doesn't need it!

Humanitarian aid for defense contractors

why on Earth is lobbying legal?? This isn’t a democracy anymore.

Not really unbelievable. That's been happening since Vietnam. We all get pissed about it and very quickly forget about it, until it happens again. Rinse- repeat.

And the corrupt and weak kneed democratic senators and so called ‘moderates’ congress people would support it

Don't worry - Democrats will vote to approve this fully; they're one in the same when it comes to endless war funds.
