Cut Social Security & Veterans' Benefits? Cut the Pentagon Instead!
President Obama has endorsed cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits by using the "chained CPI" to lower the cost-of-living adjustment. The Congressional Budget Office says cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits in this way would save the government $163 billion over ten years. But there are much better ways for the government to save $163 billion. Email President Obama and Congress >Tell Congress: Bar US Ground Troops from Libya
The U.S. military mission in Libya has morphed from "protecting civilians" to "regime change." But many do not believe that regime change can be accomplished without the introduction of ground troops. Rep. John Conyers plans to introduce an amendment to the next government funding bill - the Continuing Resolution which the House will consider in the next few days - which would prohibit the use of funds for any type of ground troop presence in Libyan territory.
