[Peace-discuss] at HuffPo: April 25: A Historic Day to Cut the Bloated Pentagon Budget

[Robert Naiman]

For decades, it's been a Holy Grail of progressive activists in the United
States: cut the bloated Pentagon budget and use the money for human needs
instead.


But on Thursday of next week -- rescheduled from this Friday due to the
tragedy in Boston -- the Holy Grail will be within reach. All we have to do
to cut the bloated Pentagon budget and use the money for human needs
instead is kill the "chained CPI" -- the president's proposal to cut Social
Security and veterans' benefits by lowering the cost-of-living adjustment.
