David Dewhurst on Homeland Security

 


No blanket cuts to military, but trim back some spending

Both candidates said they wouldn't authorize blanket cuts to the U.S. defense budget to balance the federal budget--but agreed there were areas where even military spending could be trimmed back. They also agreed on the need to expand energy exploration, with Cruz saying, "unless you are a blithering idiot, that's the right thing to say."
