Stop increasing the military budget, possibly reducing it.
What- A call for stopping military spending without clarity of objectives, and showing how this new spending will be paid for.
Coverage- Federal
Why- This is something that most Americans can get behind without any culture war nonsense gaining traction against it. Poor and middle class people from all sides hate hearing how bloated the military is and want to get it under control. If successful the money will be a windfall to the entire country.

If I could rename the topic I’d call it “Redress government spending on military.” And it’s fun that it ends in Over 9000, but I bet we’re all thinking more in the Over 3-400 billion or so region.

The problem there is often incremental change and drastic change are linked together.
