## Resource

The Pentagon is reportedly planning to ask Congress for an additional $200 billion for their war of choice with Iran, after spending more than $1 billion a day already. Why should we continue to give more money to the Pentagon year after year, despite the fact that they are unable to pass an audit? Now is the perfect time to answer those questions and more with Savannah Wooten from Public Citizen on my podcast, With Liberty and Justice for Some.
