"Sanders: Cut the Pentagon By 10% to Hire More Teachers, Build More Homes, and Create More Jobs"
https://www.sanders.senate.gov/n…
"Sanders’ amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, cosponsored by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), would take the $74 billion in annual savings from Pentagon cuts—which exempt salaries and health care of military personnel—to create a federal grant program to fund health care, housing, childcare and educational opportunities for cities and towns experiencing a poverty rate of 25% or more."
- we raised defense spending by 14 percent since trump took over (if memory serves). so I say lets cut it by at least 25%. fuck war.sarahfailin
- I agree 100%R_Kercz
- Even with those cuts, the US would still have the largest army in the world...********
- How about not taking $74 billion from citizens each year & laundering it through bureacracies. Leave it in their accts to choose best how to better their lives********
