More on War than Americans?

Does this make sense?
How many wars will we fight?
Will we destroy our nation in the interim?
Doesn't this go far beyond a necessary defense?

Tell Congress: Don't cut vital programs to increase Pentagon spending. Defend our social safety net! Tell Congress: Don't cut vital programs to increase Pentagon spending. We spend more on weapons and war than the combined military budgets of the next 16 countries, including many U.S. allies and friends.1 But House Republicans want to fund an increase in Pentagon spending with more cuts to vital services – literally taking hot food from the mouths of vulnerable seniors2 and robbing children of education and a path to a brighter future.3 This outrageous plan and the right-wing obsession with cutting our nation to the core must be stopped. Tell Congress: Don't cut vital programs to increase Pentagon spending. Slashing vital social safety net programs that serve millions of families makes absolutely no sense, which makes the GOP’s 2014 spending plan particularly cruel. They would add to the devastating sequester cuts to domestic spending in order to increase a Pentagon budget that already eats up 57% of the money Congress votes on.4 Well it's time for Congress to hear what the American people think about the GOP’s tea-party priorities. Tell Congress: Don't cut vital social safety net programs to increase Pentagon spending. Some in Washington have completely lost touch with the everyday struggles of life – finding and keeping a good job, paying rent and bills on time and taking care of our friends and family who’ve fallen behind through no fault of their own. As families and communities struggle just to get by, we need jobs and prosperity for all, not austerity. We have collapsing bridges in Washington,5 we have cancer patients going without treatment6 and we have children being turned away from Head Start at a time when we should be investing in their future.7 It’s up to us to stop these cuts to our communities and speak out for prosperity for all. Join us as we call on Congress to do the right thing and defend our social safety net against these radical right-wing attacks. Click here to take action now. Sincerely, Ross Wallen USAction / TrueMajority PS: Will you help make prosperity for all a reality in DC and across the country? Donate here to help us fight back against austerity and build momentum to create jobs, rein in wasteful Pentagon spending and protect vital programs. 1 - "Did the Pentagon cry wolf over sequestration?" mcclathcydc.com, May 22, 2013 2 - “Federal budget cuts caused by sequester ripple across region,” The Miami Herald, May 25, 2013 3 - "Sequester hits local Head Start,” Arizona Daily Sun, May 28, 2013 4 - “Discretionary Spending 2014,” National Priorities Project, April 10, 2013 5 - “Washington Bridge Collapse Another Sign That America’s Infrastructure Is In Bad Shape,“ ThinkProgress, May 24, 2013 6 - "Cancer clinics are turning away thousands of Medicare patients.
