The Military Spending Surge

A $2 trillion boost for base Pentagon spending since 1998.

Plus, $1 trillion for endless wars.

Plus, thousands killed in wars, millions in need of food and shelter, the U.S. economy in tatters.

How much longer will tax-payers continue funding the military-industrial complex at the expense of true security?

Worried about jobs? The increase in military sending since 2000 could cost the economy close to 2 million jobs in the long run.*
