Watch on YouTube

Rep. Ro Khanna SLAMS $1.2 Trillion Defense Budget on House Floor. Invest in families not war.

Published | Video Starts at 00:16

Chairman, I support Congressman Moulton's amendment. So we do not have a nearly $1.2 trillion budget. You know, that's 65% of the entire discretionary federal budget. Two thirds of the money of taxpayers is going to what they call the Department of War. Instead of going for jobs here in America, instead of going for childcare here in America, instead of going for health care in America. (00:16–00:22)

CLAIM

Asserts that two-thirds of taxpayer money is allocated to the Department of Defense.
