Trump
and his Budget Director, Mulvaney, are pushing a budget supported by
less than 20% of the American people under the guise tax-payers don't
like social programs and would rather have their taxes pay for
militarism and war.
I notice there have been no polls asking the American people about this.
The polling question could be posed very straight forward:
Do you want your tax-dollars spent on social programs or wars?
As we all know, we can't have both wars and social programs.
Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" was killed by his Vietnam War:

Even the capitalist economist, John Kenneth Galbraith, understood we can't have both "guns and butter."
We can have a great society but not one that includes spending on these dirty imperialist wars.
This is the way to the "Great Society;" there is no other way... ask your friends, neighbors and fellow workers to sign this petition... take this petition to the next demonstration against Trump you attend... let your member of Congress know you are circulating this petition... write a Letter to the Editor supporting peace as the way to prosperity for all... we can't have prosperity for all without peace... we can't achieve peace without a struggle:
Campaign for a “21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity”
We are fed up with politicians campaigning on promises of “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” and then failing to make themselves legislatively responsible for attaining and maintaining full employment.
We are fed up with our tax dollars being squandered on militarism and wars instead of being used to create jobs by solving the problems of the people and defending our living environment… its time to beat swords into plowshares. Put people to work solving the problems of the people.
A National Public Health Care System would create over twelve-million new jobs paying real living wages providing people with free health care--- general medical, eyes, ears, dental, family planning and mental health--- through a network of neighborhood and community health care centers; this is a better use of our tax-dollars than wasting our human and financial resources on a far flung empire of over 800 U.S. military bases around the world. Or, it could be financed the same way Social Security is financed. Or paid for with a tax on Wall Street transactions. Or financed with a combination of these methods. Public funding. Public administration. Public delivery… nothing controversial; just like public education.
A National Public Child Care System would create over three-million new jobs providing working class families with free child care.
We need to restore the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (C.E.T.A.), Works Progress Administration (WPA) and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
“At Will Employment” legislation in states across the country needs to be rescinded and repealed to expand democracy in the workplace and provide workers with the right to freely participate in the communities where they live.
All attacks on immigrant workers, documented and undocumented, need to end.
Planned Parenthood needs to be defended and programs expanded.
We insist Congress and the president enact full employment legislation which makes them legislatively responsible for attaining and maintaining full employment; assure everyone who wants a job employment at real living wages in line with the actual cost-of-living.
Full employment would provide stability for Social Security; everyone paying in; everyone getting something out. A Basic Income for All must be guaranteed. Pensions must be honored and protected. The Wall Street swindle of pension funds must end; restore the Glass-Steagall Act.
Turn Habitat for Humanity into a massive public works project to create jobs and assure everyone has a decent home.
Free education through university; cancel student debt. End military recruitment in the high schools.
Unemployment and lack of a National Public Health Care System is the price we pay for militarism and wars. We are entitled to a Peace Dividend……...
Let’s talk about the politics and economics of livelihood.
