Americans are realizing the size of our military budget does not correlate to an increase in our “national security.” Iraq War did not make us more secure. 20 years too long in Afghanistan did not make us more secure. 750 military installations around the world do not make us more secure. Buying more military equipment that isn’t even made here and isn’t even the smartest use of our dollars does not make us more secure. Nope. It just makes military defense contractors wealthier. #CutTheMilitaryBudget by 20%.

Pentagon budget proposed for FY2024: $886 billion / $146 billion higher than when Biden entered office. (Makes us less safe) Cost of the $600 checks from Dec 2020/Jan 2021: $141 billion. (Lifted millions out of poverty) Just FYI.

@RobertKennedyJr @TuckerCarlson @elonmusk Because we brought in Hollywood stars to lead politics. The president or governor of the state must master acting and lying to get elected. We deserve better than that.

Agreed. Washington DC hears you too and disregards. Keep it up though!

Price gouging has long been a problem for the Pentagon. The DOD has been on the Government Accountability Office's high-risk list for financial management since the 1990s. It's high time to seriously address this.

Using our tax dollars to allow all our citizens to thrive ... is where those dollars should be used ... and not to make the Rich ... even Richer!

20%? Seems low. Does that include Azov battalion?
Replying to @marwilliamson
The real ELEPHANT will be to get the fortunate " good ole" Grama's and Grampa's of the "BOOMER" generation to give back ( thru taxes ) their share of the "trickle down" loot they were able to aquire during the half a century of the Regan, Bush, and Cheney NEW WORLD ODER Regime!
