With Republicans taking over the House, GOP dreams of government spending cuts are a much greater possibility than during the previous Congress, and that could possibly include even cuts to defense spending. When asked about cutting the Pentagon’s budget, even right wing firebrand Jim Jordan – eventually – agreed that even the military might be on the chopping block. And on the far side across the aisle Squad member Ilhan Omar agreed that she would similarly be open to defense cuts.
Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the prospects for a left-right alliance to apply garden shears to the Pentagon’s bloated appropriations.
