Dr. Jack Rasmus will welcome two guests to discuss the defense budget and the likelihood (or unliklihood) it will be part of the massive multi-trillion dollar spending cuts that are coming immediately after the November 6 election regardless who wins. How big is the defense budget really? What is it costing us? Can defense be provided with much less spending? Jack will welcome Michael Eisenscher, Co-Coordinator of US Labor Against the War, and Mike Prokasch of the ‘New Priorities Network’, both of whom have some ideas worth hearing.
