The Trillion Dollar Military Budget will Hurt Us All

By Joseph Wasserman

Our nation must oppose the trillion dollar military budget proposed by the Trump administration. We do not need a military budget bigger than the next ten military powers put together . We do not need to be exporting weapons all around the world, engaging in endless wars and we not need the socalled Golden Dome. We need to invest this money in dealing with climate change, poverty , infrastructure and education.

This trillion dollar military budget will not buy needed class supplies, will not feed hungry children , it will not help us fight back against dreaded diseases, it will not help us build wind and solar power and it will not bring down the cost of housing. It will only feed a cycle of global violence , that may be leading us to the ultimate insecurity- nuclear war . All in the name of national security.
