Year after year, with very little debate, we pour hundreds of billions of dollars into the military-industrial complex. This year, it is about $900 billion. While defense contractors make huge profits, while the Pentagon remains unaudited, with massive waste and fraud, we now spend more than the next 10 nations combined. Enough is enough. It is time to change our national priorities, and cutting military spending by 10 percent is a good way to begin. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Rhode Island.
