<p>At a time when more Americans are struggling than any time in recent history, mainstream media and politicians are talking about cutting vital social services. They say we have no money. But why not? Part of the story is decades of tax cuts and tax breaks for corporations and the rich. But part of the story is where the money we do have is have is going. Over half of federal discretionary spending goes to the military! We will give a short introduction to the federal budget and military spending—everyone should know where their tax money is going. Then we'll talk about strategies and campaigns to cut military spending and use that money for our communities.</p>
