SUMMARY:Can We Demilitarize the Economy? Loosening the Grip of the Pentagon
DESCRIPTION:For the second year in a row\, Congress is poised to add tens o
 f billions of dollars to the Pentagon budget beyond what the department ev
 en asked for.  This urge to spend ever more on the Pentagon is driven in 
 part by special interest politics – the jobs and income tied to the fund
 ing of weapons programs and military bases in states and Congressional Dis
 tricts. Without implementing a strategy to reduce the economic dependency 
 of communities around the country on military outlays it will be extremely
  difficult to reduce Pentagon spending and develop a more balanced approac
 h to promoting the safety and security of America and the world.  This pa
 nel will look at ways to demilitarize the U.S. economy and pave the path t
 o a more sensible approach to national defense.
