Follow the Money
General Dynamics received $12.5B from the Department of Defense in FY2024 alone. Defense contractors spend millions on lobbying and campaign contributions to ensure continued government spending. Every dollar in defense contracts is a dollar not spent on education, healthcare, or infrastructure.
