Bring Our War $$$ Home, End The War On Workers
The U.S.ranks #1 in the world for military expenditures.
The U.S. spends nearly half of all military expenditures in the world.
Military spending consumes 58 cents of every dollar.
Since 2001 the Iraq & Afghan wars together have cost $1.5 trillion with total projected costs of more than $5 trillion.
Bringing 150 soldiers home would wipe out Wisconsin's budget deficit this year alone.
What we'll spend this year on Iraq & Afghanistan is enough to cover all the state budget deficits combined.
Wisconsin taxpayers will pay $1.7 billion for the two wars in 2011.
Claiming a budget crisis, Scott Walker has eliminated collective bargaining for public workers in Wisconsin.
Walker's draconian budget threatens to slash billions from education, public services, BadgerCare, and SeniorCare in Wisconsin. MATC alone will lose $7.1 million in state funding.
It's time we end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and its time we end Scott Walker's war on working people!
Wisconsin isn't broke - our system is broke, and our priorities are backward. If we moved just $100 billion from the Pentagon to state aids, the budget deficits in every state would go away.
