DICK’S BLOG INDEX: IT’S THE WAR DEPARTMENT

From 12-29-10 to 4-26-11.   Latest update: 4-26-11.    Total posts: 783.

This Blog focuses on the US Imperial-Military-Security-Corporate-Pentagon-Congress-White House-Corporate Media Complex

The Pentagon budget this year alone is $600 billion.  The five wars take over $100 billion.  Nuclear weapons billions more.  The VA billions to care for the tens of thousands wounded in past wars.   And the national debt keeps rising.   No wonder towns and states are running low on money!  But the greater wonder is the tiny voice of opposition.  Not a single organization or magazine devoted to exposing the harms of the US Warfare State.  

NYT editorial April 19, 2011:

For too long America’s military spending decisions have been insulated from serious scrutiny or discipline. The result is that more than 50 cents of every dollar of discretionary federal spending now goes to the Pentagon. There is no way to bring the deficit under control without making substantial and rational cuts in that budget.
