The House just passed an $840 billion defense bill, supposedly to ensure our national security. But economic security IS national security and most Americans are not economically secure. Where’s the $840B for that?

Marianne don't be silly - if the MIC doesn't get a massive influx of cash now - how will they be able to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars moving into the mid-terms. It's an expansive laundering service but highly reliable.

Meanwhile the Department of Defense continues to fail audits on a regular basis. Apparently they don't know where the money went either.

It’s as if we spend nothing on economic security. 🙄

Didn’t you want to keep a presence in Afghanistan to protect women?

I thought you were going to ask to increase the defense budget for economic security spending, but then you asked what the original amount is for 🙁 The Pentagon lost hundreds of millions of dollars a few years ago,so just sneak some economic security plan funds into their budget
