Economist Dean Baker calculated that the increase works out to nearly $5,000 per American household per year, even as the Pentagon already has tens of billions in unspent money from last year. When a defense secretary calls congressional restraint the “greatest threat” to America, the country deserves a receipt before Lockheed gets another blank check. Ring of Fire's Josh G. discusses.
