The United States has the largest military budget in the world, with more resources going toward the Pentagon year after year. 

This unchecked spending gets worse because of the Unfunded Priorities List (UPL), which is a tool that contractors use to lobby Congress for funding for their pet projects.

Weapons contractors have significant influence in Congress and use the UPL to push for funding for programs that benefit their bottom line instead of the interests of people across the United States. 

This has led to a situation where Congress is funding more waste like additional missiles, ships, and tanks that are not even a priority for the president or military officials. 

The practice of using the UPL as a weapons contractor cash grab is a waste of taxpayer dollars and must come to an end. Unchecked spending diverts resources from critical areas that are chronically underinvested, including healthcare, education, and social programs.

With Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Senator Elizabeth Warren calling for an end to the use of UPL, our movement to CUT the Pentagon budget and stop more waste is getting stronger. Tell Congress to end the weapons contractor wish list now!
