Bail Out the People, not the Pentagon


Bail Out the People, not the Pentagon
The Issue
The Pentagon is seeking BILLIONS and BILLIONS from Congress in the next COVID relief stimulus package. Why? To protect the mega-profits of arms dealers and defense contractors.
As Congress continues to provide urgent and vital relief to the people of the United States in response to the coronavirus pandemic, they must oppose appropriating any additional money to the Pentagon — whose already overflowing coffers stand at over $756 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2020 — greater than 50 percent of total annual discretionary spending.
We say ENOUGH. Congress must focus their attention on the national pandemic response and economic relief for people across the United States rather than providing more money for the Pentagon’s already stuffed coffers.
We demand Congress bail out the people, not the Pentagon and arms dealers in the next coronavirus relief package!
