' budget has a $13 billion increase in defense spending. Spending 1.7% more on defense than Trump isn't building back better. Cut the Overseas Contingency Operations fund, contractor profits, & any new spending on nukes. We need to actually decrease the Pentagon budget.

Have you not noticed the latest movements of the Han Supremacists of Imperialist China? How about the Russian supremacists amassing an invasion force in Western Europe? Please drop the outdated far-left rhetoric and pay attention to today's world.

Then the progressives in congress should refuse to vote for the whole thing. Hold the budget hostage till they throw out the wasteful mil spending.
