If the military contractors succeed in keeping the war budget intact, they'll likely do so at the expense of Social Security and Medicare. That means money that would go to your Social Security or Medicare benefits will instead go into the hands of people like Lockheed Martin CEO Robert J. Stephens, who last year made $21.9 million, almost totally from taxpayer-funded military contracts. This should an easy choice: cut the war budget. Tell committee members you want military contractors' hands off the money that should go to Social Security and Medicare. http://warcosts.com Lockheed Martin's CEO Is After Your Social Security Check! http://youtu.be/pVgvfnzwFPI http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pVgvfnzwFPI#! -------------- Uploaded by RussiaToday on Aug 31, 2011 The US senate committee into wartime contracting has found 30 billion dollars of taxpayer's money missing or stolen by contractors. The report claims the money was squandered due to poor planning, a lack of oversight and outright fraud by U.S. contractors and federal employees. It also suggests to implement stricter measures to control the spendings over the possibility that another 30 billion could be wasted in the future. The findings are now to be presented to congress, as a cash-strapped Washington prepares to trim defence spending to tackle its enormous debt. An assistant Editor at http://antiwar.com - John Glaser - says this report is only one of many others describing large-scale waste in the US.

These guys use their corporations' massive lobbying dollars to keep their job-killing gravy train rolling. Last year, their companies spent a whopping $46 million on lobbying, corrupting our politics and ensuring that their bank accounts continue to fatten at our expense. These executives are some of the main reasons why we're wasting so much on war instead of rebuilding our own nation here at home. Help us fight their propaganda campaign to protect their profits. Use our list to share this video with your local Occupy group and encourage them to show it at their events: http://warcosts.com/1percent CORRECTION: Lockheed Martin's CEO is Robert Stevens. The video refers to him as "Martin Stevens" which is incorrect. --------------- Meet the 0.01 Percent: War Profiteers http://youtu.be/ipM_wRnAzSY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipM_wRnAzSY&feature=relmfu
