A report by Public Citizen reveals that the reconciliation bill proposed by Republicans allocates over $163 billion to militarization, including substantial funding for the Pentagon and mass deportation efforts. This move could divert resources from critical programs like Medicaid and food assistance, risking vital services for millions of Americans. The report critiques this funding shift, labeling it a harmful exchange of essential services for militarization, calling for a rejection of unnecessary military spending to protect families in need.
This reconciliation package is a direct redistribution of resources from struggling Americans to the Pentagon and militarization.
Funding boost alone could more than fund Medicaid for nearly 14 million people at risk of losing their health care coverage.
Shifting funding away from lifesaving programs to militarization is effectively 'trading life for death.'
Protecting families from losing health care and going hungry is as simple as rejecting new spending on dangerous and unnecessary weapons.
