How many taxpayer dollars go toward Pentagon spending? And are we
spending our dollars wisely?
Check out this chart that shows that the US
spends nearly as much on defense as the next 15 countries
combined:
While Pentagon spending is declining as a result of
the drawdowns from Iraq and Afghanistan, there are still a lot of
reductions in spending that could be achieved.
The U.S. military budget remains far higher than it
was during the Cold War. And more spending doesn’t necessarily mean more safety.
The Pentagon is still spending an unnecessarily high amount on Cold War
weaponry, including nuclear weapons.
A smart, modern national security starts with smarter
spending. It’s
time for new priorities – sign our petition if you
agree.
Thanks for your interest in this important
issue.
Sincerely,
John Isaacs & Guy Stevens
