"Moderate" Democrats who don't think spending $753 billion on the Pentagon budget is enough also happened to...

💰Take an avg. of $50K from military contractors last election cycle.

Let's put @POTUS $753,000,000,000 Pentagon budget request into some historical context for these representatives:

We're spending more on the Pentagon budget now than peak spending for the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Reagan buildup

This is why we joined 39 other groups earlier this year to demand that withdrawing from Afghanistan should mean a significant reduction in Pentagon spending

Congress is deliberating NOW on the next Pentagon budget.

We can't let representatives who are bought and sold by military contractors continue to throw billions at the military budget while leaving pennies for social programs.
