Congress voted for $25 billion more than the amount requested by President Biden AND the Pentagon itself!

 Code Pink e-mail of Oct 2 2021:

Last week the House of Representatives rejected legislation to cut the Pentagon budget by 10% and voted for a $780 billion Pentagon budget. 

That’s...

❌$25 billion more than the amount requested by President Biden AND the Pentagon itself!

❌$38 billion more than Trump’s last budget! 

❌More than DOUBLE what Congress is proposing in annual funding for their $3.5 T reconciliation package 

Only 38 members of the House of Representatives voted against this heinous Pentagon budget. 

We all understand the disgusting hypocrisy of our representatives voting to hand the Pentagon and weapons manufacturers $780,000,000,000 one week, then pretending that we “can’t afford” things like child care and free community college this week. We need to let our representatives know we WILL NOT accept this violent status quo moving forward.
