Looks like straight button-pushing, for folks who share truthout's emotions.
Here's some quick gov't numbers on were all the money went (in 2022) -
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf (See page 109.) Summary - the Pentagon got ~12% of the budget. Interest on the national debt was ~7%...and probably growing far faster.
> The solution is a budget that changes these priorities to divest from militarism and invest in human needs here and around the world — something that’s only possible if taxpayers take a more active role.
Since those "human needs" seem to already be getting ~6X the funding that the Pentagon is, is truthout shouting for change...to the current status quo?
