*Freeze Non-War Spending for Five Years?
*

<http://warisacrime.org/primary>

*"So tonight, I am proposing that starting this year, we freeze annual domestic 
spending for the next five years." *Thus spoke the President last night.  
"Domestic" spending means non-war and non-military spending.  Over half of our 
public spending goes to wars and the military.  Even the President's own catfood 
(deficit) commission recommended cutting $100 billion.  Why leave it out of the 
freeze? This may be why:

*"And we've sent a message ... to all parts of the globe: We will not relent, we 
will not waver, and we will defeat you." *That's going to be expensive, and 
President Obama promised lower taxes on corporations in the same speech.  He's 
already signed off on tax cuts for billionaires.  Spending cuts will have to 
come somewhere else.

*It's time to resist: **http://warisacrime.org/primary*

*"Already, we've frozen the salaries of hardworking fe deral employees for the 
next two years. I've proposed cuts to things I care deeply about, like community 
action programs. The Secretary of Defense has also agreed to cut tens of 
billions of dollars in spending that he and his generals believe our military 
can do without." * But those little cuts out of the $1 trillion we spend on the 
military each year are planned for future years, not this one.  The President is 
expected to propose a larger military budget for the third year in a row next 
month.  And he has thus far consistently used off-the-books supplemental bills 
to add more funding to his wars.

*If you oppose this agenda, add your name now to a growing movement to push back.
