Where Government Savings Should Be Come From , Not Social Programs

We can save 100s of billions by:
  • Reducing budget for U.S. overseas military bases by 20%: $200 billion
  • Ending the war in Afghanistan Now: $83 billion in 2013
  • Cut unnecessary and wasteful Pentagon spending: $100 billion a year
  • Allow the government to negotiate with drug companies to obtain lower rates for Medicare prescriptions: $220 billion
  • Eliminate Corporate Tax Loopholes: $1.24 trillion over 10 years
  • Create a financial transaction tax for high-volume Wall Street Trading: $1.8 trillion over 10 years
It is unacceptable to reduce spending on the backs of hard working Americans, the elderly, veterans, the poor, children and disabled when we clearly have other options that are far more ethical.

We thank you for your continued support in the ongoing struggle for a more peaceful and just world!
