Voters should care about this bill because it addresses the existential threat of nuclear war, which could have devastating consequences for human civilization and the planet. If this resolution's recommendations are followed, it could lead to increased global stability and a reduction in the massive costs associated with maintaining and modernizing nuclear arsenals, potentially freeing up resources for other national priorities. The resolution highlights that the U.S. is currently spending over a trillion dollars on nuclear modernization over the next 30 years.

If this resolution does not become law or its recommendations are not acted upon, the current trajectory of nuclear proliferation and modernization could continue. This means continued high spending on nuclear weapons, potentially increased global tensions, and an elevated risk of accidental or intentional nuclear conflict, especially as existing arms control treaties expire and new ones are not established. It also speaks to the ongoing debate about the role of nuclear weapons in national security and global deterrence.
