EARTH FUTURE ACTION
HOME ABOUT REPORTS CONTACT HELP WANTED
We oppose the proposed $200 billion war
funding request because it is reckless, unjustifiable, and a clear statement
of distorted priorities. At a time when Americans are struggling to afford
healthcare, housing, and basic necessities, the government is prepared to pour
an extraordinary sum into expanding a war with no clear objective, no defined
limits, and no credible exit strategy.
This is not defense—it is escalation on autopilot.
Lawmakers from both parties have already raised concerns about the lack of
transparency and planning, yet the funding request moves forward anyway. The
scale alone signals an expectation of a prolonged and widening conflict, one
that risks repeating the same costly, endless wars the public has already paid
for in blood and debt.
$200 billion is not just a number—it is a choice. A
choice to fund destruction over stability, war over diplomacy, and
militarization over meeting the urgent needs of people at home. We reject that
choice.
