The House co-chairs of the Defense Spending Reduction Caucus reintroduced legislation on Wednesday that would cut the Department of Defense's budget by $100 billion.
“By cutting $100 billion from the defense budget, this bill prioritizes urgent needs like healthcare, education, and infrastructure over padding the pockets of defense contractors,” Pocan said. “More defense spending does not guarantee safety, but it does guarantee that the military-industrial complex will continue to get richer.
These House progressives could find unlikely allies in a handful of hard-line conservatives who have also publicly called for defense cuts.
