Is Congress about to put you out of work?

Now that the deficit committee failed, war profiteer CEOs are launching an all-out propaganda campaign to protect their profit margins. They and their allies in Washington are working to protect the massive, corruption-filled war budget by slashing social safety nets that help create jobs. This would be a disaster for our economy.

Use our tool to send Congress War Costs' latest video to make sure they understand the consequences of failing to make real cuts to the military budget: http://warcosts.com

"A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

- Major General Smedley Butler ("War Is A Racket")

Type out "Cure For Cancer" on Youtube and watch Burzinski. This dicumentary is also available through Netflix. They don't care about people. Period! Type out "The Great Thermate Debate" which debunks the History Channel's debunking of the 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists. They had the lies! "The International Hearings on 9/11" was briefly reported, from what I've seen, by CTV News and a small periodical called "The Portland Phoenix" from Portland, ME.

Great video.

Points out the hypocrisy of the Pentagon's massive, multi-Billion-dollar Propaganda Machine.

Wonder how ALL other countries manage to stay 'safe & secure' while spending tiny fractions of what the U.S. spends?

@PeaceProfit "Not once in my comment is "America" mentioned"

The United States/America/'s, Same difference. THE LAND ITSELF DOES NOT THINK NOR VOTE! And then of course, you have those who arrogantly argue to defend their honor in always being right. This is another mental weakness amongst people, Ego Rooted Political Bullshit just to confuse the issues.

Which social safety nets are they referring to that create jobs?

So i made a graph representing the tax cuts and who they went to. The bar was so high representing the top 2.0% that you could not even see the lower bars representing middle class america.

Why are republicans such snarling, evil looking cretins?

I swear you could put swine masks on them and they would look no different.

They are an evil blight on this world. They know nothing of real conservatism, they are liars, cheats, crooks, and charlatans.

I watched a clip of George Bush pushing his ridiculous tax cuts in 2007 or there about. He kept saying "these tax cuts will help and give relief to the hard working men and women of America.... I almost puked on my keyboard.

@Acecool444 Not once in my comment is "America" mentioned, as i*consider that to mean The*People... As for the average citizen, any ignorance they choose to hold, especially for the last decade is just as much their own responsibility as those who feed it to them... Justification by whatever means, is by no means vindication... As for "Guilty" neither does my comment assert that... you seem to be reading much of your own view into a simple statement on Geopolitical Strategy...
