What Is The 10% Solution?
Redirect just 10% of the $850 billion defense budget—$85 billion annually—to solve America’s most urgent crises.
Let Me Address The Elephant In The Room: Will This Weaken Our Defense?
NO! We’d still have the world’s largest military. By far.
No nation is invading us. We outspend the next 10 countries combined—most of them allies. At $765 billion, we’d still outspend China by 2.6 to 1, Russia by 8.9 to 1, and maintain the world’s most powerful military by an enormous margin.
The Numbers Tell the Story
- Current U.S. defense budget: $850 billion
- After 10% reallocation: $765 billion
- China’s entire defense budget: $292 billion
- Russia’s entire defense budget: $86 billion
- Combined spending of next 10 countries: $849 billion
- U.S. military bases worldwide: 750+ in 80 countries
- All other countries combined: Approximately 30 foreign bases
Why No One Would Attack America
Our global military presence means any attack on the U.S. would trigger immediate response from forces already positioned on every continent. We have more aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined, the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, and defense treaties with most major economies.
Economic reality: The U.S. economy is deeply integrated with every major power. China, Russia, and our allies all have more to lose economically from conflict than they could ever gain militarily. Nuclear deterrence and mutual economic dependence make major conflict catastrophically irrational for any adversary.
The 10% Solution: Where The Money Goes
How $85 Billion Solves America’s Crises
End Homelessness
Provide permanent supportive housing with wraparound services including case management, healthcare access, and job placement assistance. Studies show Housing First models reduce emergency room visits by 40% and incarceration by 50%.
Estimated cost: $20 billion annually to house all 653,000 homeless Americans
Eliminate Food Insecurity
Expand SNAP benefits, fund school meal programs, and support food banks to ensure no American goes hungry. Food security reduces childhood illness, improves educational outcomes, and decreases healthcare costs by addressing malnutrition-related conditions.
Estimated cost: $15 billion annually to feed 44 million food-insecure Americans
Transform Mental Health Care
Build community mental health centers, fund crisis intervention teams, and expand treatment for addiction and severe mental illness. Currently, 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness, but only 47% receive treatment. Accessible care reduces suicide rates, homelessness, and incarceration.
Estimated cost: $25 billion annually for comprehensive national coverage
Youth Employment Programs
Create paid apprenticeships, vocational training, and summer job programs for at-risk youth. Young people with employment opportunities are 50% less likely to engage in criminal activity and develop crucial work skills that lead to stable careers and economic mobility.
Estimated cost: $10 billion annually for 2 million youth placements
Reduce Crime
Fund evidence-based intervention programs, rehabilitation services, and community policing initiatives that address root causes rather than symptoms. Recidivism drops 43% when former inmates receive job training and support services, creating safer communities while reducing prison costs.
Estimated cost: $8 billion annually for nationwide programs
Education & Training
Expand access to community colleges, trade schools, and adult education programs that provide pathways out of poverty. Workers with vocational credentials earn 25% more than high school graduates alone, strengthening families and local economies while filling critical workforce gaps.
Estimated cost: $7 billion annually for expanded access nationwide
Not charity. Not welfare. A reallocation of resources we’re already spending.
The real threats killing Americans aren’t foreign armies—they’re poverty, homelessness, hunger, untreated mental illness, and crime. These crises kill more Americans every year than any foreign enemy ever could.
This isn’t just spending—it’s an investment that reduces arrests, lowers healthcare costs, and generates economic multiplier effects that strengthen the entire economy. Every dollar invested in housing, mental health, and job training returns $1.50 to the economy.
Why Is This A Problem: The System Was Designed for This
From the start, this country wasn’t built as a true democracy. It was set up as a Republic—a system built to stay steady for the people who already had money and land. The Constitution wasn’t written to give people control; it was written to keep that control in check.
For 250 years, every generation has witnessed the same mechanics at work. Law after law, policy after policy, the same pattern repeats: protect wealth, control dissent, and dress inequality up in the language of democracy.
The system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed—for them.
So we stop pretending and start using it the way it was designed—by those with power making decisions about resources. Right now, that power protects $850 billion in annual defense spending while Americans go homeless, hungry, and without healthcare.
Now we use our power—our votes, our voices, our demand for accountability—to make it protect us too.

The Time Is Now
For the first time in American history, we have comprehensive proof of how the system works—and a concrete solution to make it work for everyone.
Make Congress Answer to Us
Congress won’t act on their own—they’re part of the system. Over 50% of Congress members are millionaires, with a median net worth exceeding $1 million. They’ve designed this to protect their wealth, not ours.
But they still answer to votes. They still answer to pressure. They still answer to organized Americans who refuse to stay silent.
Add your name. Demand that 10% of the defense budget—$85 billion every year—goes to housing, healthcare, food security, and jobs for Americans.
You’ll get: Action alerts when it’s time to contact your representatives, tools to spread the word, updates, and a place to comment and share your thoughts, as this movement grows.
We will never sell your information. Privacy Policy
80% to 90% of the Senate are by all measure considered wealthy, with a median net worth exceeding $1 million. They’ve designed this to protect their wealth, not ours.
But they still answer to votes. They still answer to pressure. They still answer to organized Americans who refuse to stay silent.
Add your name. Demand that 10% of the defense budget—$85 billion every year—goes to housing, healthcare, food security, and jobs for Americans.
