Email Congress: Slash Funding for War
Each year the Pentagon receives
billions of dollars outside of its regular budget through its own slush
fund. The House is proposing to put $92 billion in that slush fund for
FY16; the Senate is advocating for $89 billion. These numbers are a
significant increase above the current year's fund of $64 billion. More
importantly, they are tens of billions of dollars more than what experts
estimate that the actual costs of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and
Syria will be. Those tens of billions of wasteful spending in this
massive slush fund are tax dollars not available to pay for vital
domestic needs here at home.
Ask your legislators to reject the “OCO” budget gimmick and to prioritize nation building here at home.
