"Spending $886 billion on the Pentagon will not make us safer."

Could a new budget loophole allow Pentagon spending to soar even higher?

What does this have to do with "defense?"

Pentagon waste is a longstanding issue in desperate need of meaningful action.

Isn’t it time to end the national-security version of spending unlimited in Washington?

"The good news is: the American people are on to the racket and mobilizing to demand a reallocation of funding away from the Pentagon and to prioritize human needs."

It can’t be emphasized enough just how many taxpayer dollars are now being showered on the Pentagon.

“Why is there more money for the military-industrial complex… at the same time the U.S. is refusing to spend the $25 billion needed to make enough additional vaccines to vaccinate the world?”

How the conjunction of dysfunctional military leadership, an ever-growing arms industry and a Congress that keeps handing them trillions of dollars, constitutes the full flowering of President Eisenhower's greatest fears for the future of the United States.
