Amen to that. A majority of Democrats and Republicans support reducing money to the War Department, but our representatives vote for it. Why? Follow the money. Who gets rich from war?

Democracy for New Mexico: $642,000,000,000 (billion) for the War Machine "Ike was Right"

This kind of obscene money spent on war and defense has got to stop. 88 billion still going over to Afghanistan for 2013, that is $1.5 bill every week. Think of what this Country could do with $1.5 bil every week. The bill funds a missile defense site to be built on the east coast, that the military itself opposes, old star-wars garbage, and even Russian cold war garbage. We have gone insane, when we will fund things the military does not even want and threaten drastic cuts to social security for our seniors which is desperately needed now, we have gone insane.
