That $1.1 trillion includes spending for the military and weapons, deportations and detentions, and federal law enforcement and mass incarceration. And some of those are the very categories that extremists want to protect.
Instead, they want to concentrate cuts on the programs they don’t like. If the slash-and-burn extremists got their way, we would see social programs — everything from K-12 education and housing, to child care and public health, to food safety and medical research gutted.
And we would see spending on the military continue to grow unchecked.
The only sane response is to cut funding for militarism and war, and reinvest in social programs that save lives and prevent violence — the exact programs that far-right hardliners want to gut.

Since the war spending is DISCRETIONARY, why doesn't biden just shift THOSE funds, and tell the republicans they can **** off with their debt ceiling demands?razoo » 26 May 2023, 9:09 am » wrote: ↑ As we show in a new report out this week, The Warfare State: How Funding for Militarism Compromises Our Welfare, militarism accounts for $1.1 trillion, or 62 percent, of the discretionary budget – the same pot of money the extremists are targeting with their economic hostage-taking threats.
