Something we should know about a Defense bill(HR 4310).... [View all]

While we're all signing petitions to our leaders in Congress, in order to avoid cuts in our domestic programs that are directly meant for "the People", they're(Congress) quietly passing a huge defense bill( HR4310) for 633 billion dollars. It has passed both the senate and House, and only awaits for the president's signature. I haven't seen or heard anything in the media about it. Apparently there were no cuts in anything that might be helpful to save some domestic programs. So for anyone who thinks Congress actually represents them, or gives a shit, we can give up on that!
