Marco Battaglia: Rein in the military-industrial complex

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Expand the military"?

A: I think that we need to rein in the military industrial complex, audit the fed and the pentagon, and reevaluate all of our three letter agencies. I believe in transparency and am against hidden budgets.
