Howie Hawkins on Homeland Security

Halve defense spending & use funds domestically

Q: What does Hawkins think of armed forces spending?

A: Budget on all-Defense related spending is about 8 times more than we spend on education in the US. Halve the Defense spending and use it to build the US domestically.
