America's out-of-control military is the problem. Be a part of the solution!
The Peace Dividend strategy is how we rein in the defense department, hold our war mongering politicians accountable, and get a Peace Dividend refund of $20,544 payable to each and every citizen of the U.S.
Yes, we have a plan. And we want YOU to be part of it!
1992 . . . The Promise
With the USSR gone and the cold war over, optimism about the future filled the air. Peace would break out all over. The U.S. could dedicate its resources to improving the lives of everyday Americans. Better schools, parks, communities. A renewal of the American Dream would be funded by a "peace dividend".
Defense Budgets
Since 1992, 24 of 30 annual defense budgets have increased significantly. This year's "official" defense budget is more than double what it was in 2000. The U.S. now spends more on preparation for war than the next ten countries combined, and most of them are NATO allies.
DOD Waste
The amount of military waste is mind-boggling. By its own admission, the DOD can't account for $8.5 trillion allocated to the military since 1996. Though required by law, the DOD has never passed an audit, and continues to use U.S. taxpayers as a limitless ATM machine.
Afghanistan & Iraq
So far the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq have cost almost $1.8 trillion. Experts estimate these illegal, unnecessary wars will cost taxpayers $4 to $5 trillion over the next decade. Tens of thousands of innocent civilians, and over 11,000 U.S. combatants have been killed.
Endless War
America has been at war for 228 of its 245-year history. With FONOPS in the South China Sea, the arming of Ukraine, provocative NATO war games, and demonization of Russia and China, there's no end in sight.
The Peace Dividend
The Peace Dividend refund of tax payer money comes to $20,544 for each and every U.S. citizen. For a family of four, this is over $80,000 due from the U.S. Treasury, paid out over three years at $27,392 per year.
