we had to actually three piece of shocking news today a grade with republicans three
times on this show possible coming from
wilbur also we had to be a real bipartisanship on earmarks and possibly on the defense budget
and third we're talking about the defense budget
defense budget
continue to believe pericles sometimes to service at this point idea of the federal
government taking anything right
is bloated inefficient and wasteful
except for the largest federal government program the military
somehow the pentagon is magically exempt from the waist that other big of a programs are
supposedly swapped it
well that makes no sense
the realities of the pentagon has been all this week senator
as people make enormous money from it
they're motivated to create weapons programs
that we don't necessarily need and charges al-mahdi more than they actually cops
using a politicians who love you wait for friends and supporters in the local states
they'll do the same thing when it comes a defense contractors
will give them huge campaign covered contributions
come on
his anyone really believe that of course they put in a lot of pork in their so they needed
to campaign contributions and defense contractors
can get rich
and other comical ideas that we should never cut defense spending
especially in the low too
okay does that mean that the defense budget was twenty trillion dollars we still can cut
it
is there any number of what you would say
okay maybe we should look to see if there is some waste than that
how does the defense budget was one hundred billion dollars what was pulled out of billion
dollars
profitability
employability
well it turns out the best we could of course in reality is even higher than that
this year we spent an insane
be on
people ian dollars in defense
that has risen from three hundred and fifty nine billion dollars in two thousand
who's already incredibly high bag and and now it's just astronomical
that is more than any other federal government program us social security and medicare delhi
cacas very paid into the so defensive overwhelms the rest of the budget
look at how little we spent on education by comparison
all right now look at how much we spend compared to the rest of the world
we nearly doubled the military budget of the rust of the planet birth combined
china is second in military spending and their population is four times larger than ours
and we spent seven times more than they do
but don't bounce of reason this is insanity and there is reason for military country music
and incredibly rich
wall-to-wall that spending
you i think probably new york taxpayer money or are those contractors in the politicians
they have in their pocket back pocket
i don't
and apparently neither does republicans senator elect rantoul or progressive senator bernie
sanders let's hope they can build a coalition that brings israel bipartisanship in real
sanity on this issue
