The Pentagon Budget Requires Real Cuts If we are serious about reducing the deficit, we have to put the Pentagon budget on the table. The size of the Pentagon budget has grown to mammoth proportions. Military spending has doubled in the last 10 years, and it accounts for half of the discretionary spending that Congress allocates in appropriations bills every year. The U.S. spends almost as much as all the rest of the world's nations combined on our military.

Cut the Corporate Tax Breaks The Republican refusal to consider ending tax breaks for rich corporations as part of the deficit reduction plan is not just bad public policy. It is fundamentally unfair to 99% of the American taxpayers who are currently subsidizing the use of America's vast public infrastructure by these wealthy corporations and their owners.

O Little Dying Town of Bethlehem During this Christmas season many of us have been singing "O Little Town of Bethlehem" but few of us may know that Bethlehem is a dying town that is being strangled by the huge concrete wall that Israel has built around it. Few people know that some 20,000 Palestinian Christians live under a harsh military occupation in Bethlehem and are facing extreme hardship because of the wall that encircles them.

Divided We Fall If we want American democracy to survive, we need to grow up. We need to stop projecting our fears onto other people. We need to stop yelling at each other and learn to start listening to each other. We need to accept the reality of change and begin working together to find productive ways of dealing with a world that is constantly changing.

United We Stand We the people have spoken and America has elected a new president. Regardless of how we voted, we all need to unite behind the President-elect because our common destiny is tied to his success or failure.

The Real Cause of the Financial Crisis The real cause of the current financial crisis is our massive debt which is largely due to out-of-control military spending. Massive borrowing by the U.S. government to fund wars and weapons has sucked the liquidity out of the credit markets and fear of a collapsing dollar is sending shock waves throughout world markets.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright: A Prophetic Voice of Warning for America Rev. Jeremiah Wright speaks with the same prophetic voice used by the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah. He warns that America will suffer the wrath of God unless it turns away from war, racism and greed. Those who condemn Rev. Wright worship America as an idol that must never be criticized.

The Truth About Terrorism The U.S. is losing ground against terrorism because of its reliance on military power. The truth is that if we want real security, we must work to stop our government from relying so heavily on military force that ends up creating even more terrorists. If the U.S. became the biggest supplier of hope in the world instead of the world's biggest arms supplier, the wellsprings of terrorism would soon dry up and disappear.
