President Trump casually mentioned that the U.S. will have its first TRILLION dollar military budget. This does not, in any sense, sound like a government looking to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We have been bankrupted (economically, and more importantly, morally) by a century of endless wars. The federal debt continues to rise, even with total Republican control. This is all bad news for our nation.

Hamas has returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages. A new CNN poll suggests Americans have some concerns about President Donald Trump. The Trump administration is expected to label migrants at the US-Mexico border as a risk for spreading diseases. The Defense Secretary wants the military to make billions of dollars' worth of cuts.

It just goes to show that the mainstream media and anyone who owes their livelihood to the military industrial complex don't want anything to change. Orange man bad and any war is a good war. If anyone is keeping score it is momentous for a sitting president to suggest cutting the military budget in half. And to plan for peace talks and further reduction with Russia and china. I'm not “all in” on Trump. I'm not “all in” on any politician. But to have one actually move towards positive change and to listen to the needs of the people, well I guess he's a monster right ?

A major Congress member and top former Trump administration official published an article calling to overthrow China's government. They boasted that the US is waging a new cold war and must win it, while proposing a military budget of $1.4 trillion per year. Ben Norton debunks the deceptions of the warmongers in Washington.

HKS Senior Lecturer Linda Bilmes, an expert on public finance who has studied post-9/11 war costs for the past 20 years, says their staggering $5 trillion cost was enabled by what she calls “The Ghost Budget.” Using an unprecedented combination of borrowing, accounting tricks, and outsourcing, presidential administrations, Congress, and the Pentagon were able to circumvent traditional military budget processes in a way that kept war costs out of the public debate and resulted in trillions being spent with minimal oversight. The result: corporations and wealthy investors raking in huge profits, massive waste and fraud, and—combined with the Bush and Trump tax cuts—a shifting of the burden of the costs of war away from the wealthy and onto middle- and lower-income people and future generations. Of course by any metric, the United States-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were costly. Human life? At least 430,000 Iraqis, Afghans, and Pakistani civilians dead, along with more than 7,000 U.S. military personnel and thousands of civilian contractors. Democratic progress? Afghanistan is once again an authoritarian theocracy under the Taliban, and instead of transforming Iraq and the region, the U.S. invasion and occupation undermined popular sentiment toward democracy, unleashed sectarian violence, and strengthened autocratic regimes. But the budgetary problems are something we can address now, Bilmes says, with congressional reforms and planning prudently for the long-term costs of the wars, including caring for veterans. “The Ghost Budget” is also the title of Bilmes' next book, which will be published next year.Linda Bilmes' Policy RecommendationsCreate a veterans trust fund with an oversight board to pay for the long-term costs of caring for military personnel who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, costs which will not peak for as much as 50 years.Amend existing laws to automatically cover Iraq and Afghanistan veterans for toxic exposure to burn pits.Pass legislation requiring a set aside of a certain amount of funding long-term veterans care for every dollar appropriated for war spending.Restrict the ability of the White House and Congress to use the emergency and OCO (Overseas Contingency Operations) funding mechanisms to spend money on conflicts and to move war spending back into the main defense budget process.Address budgetary dysfunction in Congress by strengthening and empowering the House and Senate budget committees and streamlining their complicated and confusing budget subcommittee structures. Episode Contributors:Linda J. Bilmes, the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, is a leading expert on budgetary and public financial issues. Her research focuses on budgeting and public administration in the public, private and non-profit sectors. She is interested in how resources are allocated, particularly defense budgets, costs of war, veterans, sub-national budgeting and public lands.

Six massive bills that make up roughly 70% of discretionary federal spending  — including the military — need to be passed by Friday in order to keep the government open. It is a predicament Congress has found itself in over and over again the past few months, but, as appropriations reporter Caitlin Emma tells Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza, the challenge is different this time: These are some of the biggest and hardest bills to fund, and a final showdown is looming.  Plus, a new Ipsos-POLITICO poll reveals a conviction may not doom Donald Trump's presidential hopes, but it could do real political damage. That, plus the rest of the news you need to know today. Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza interviews appropriations reporter Caitlin Emma.

Freedom ain't free- it costs exactly $816.7 billion in fiscal year 2023. This is the biggest US defense budget to date, but how does the US spend this massive budget, and how much of it goes to new weapon systems that are at least 50% UFO technology? Don't miss today's epic new audio that breaks down how the US military is spending its billions. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theinfographicsshow/message

ZOOMER SQUAD: FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER TURNS 99! 12:00-12:30 Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP, Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine, and Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP. We kick the discussion off by reflecting  on the life and times of former U.S. President and iconic Zoomer Jimmy Carter who turned 99 years old this week as he lives in hospice care. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement marking National Seniors Day yesterday and called them "pillars of our community". Finally, we discuss finances and how many Seniors are going back into the workforce amid the pressures of inflation and other economic factors. OTTAWA PLANS TO REDUCE MILITARY SPENDING BY $1 BILLION 12:30-12:50 PM Jane Brown is joined by Dr. Adam Chapnick, A professor of defence studies at the Royal Military College of Canada and deputy director of education at the Canadian Forces College and Dr. Christopher Ankersen is a Clinical Professor of Global Affairs at New York University, a former Canadian Forces officer and expert on Canadian defence policy. Ottawa has asked the Department of National Defence to cut nearly $1 billion from the military's budget. Our guests weigh in the actual implications of such a decision and how it will likely impact our relationship with NATO especially amid Russia's war against Ukraine. ONTARIO PHARMACISTS GET MORE POWERS TO TREAT AILMENTS 12:50-1 PM Jane Brown is now joined by Justin Bates, CEO of the Ontario Pharmacists Association. The province has given Ontario pharmacists the ability to provide treatments and medications for another 6 types of ailments including acne, canker sores, and yeast infections. Justin details the importance of this move and also provides a PSA on boosters that are available to Seniors as we continues to face COVID-19 spread in the community.

David Stockman, director of the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan, walks us through current stupidities, his conclusions after studying 20th-century American economic history, and how he ended up working in the Reagan Administration.

Reese and Jasmin talk about the arrest of architect Rex Heuermann, the suspected Long Island Serial Killer (LISK), the military budget passed by the House GOP which included anti-LGBTQIA+ and other bigoted provisions, and the harsh treatment of Black migrants and citizens in Tunisia.

It's a JAM PACKED Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Alex Pareene, Contributing Editor at the New Republic and host of the Politics of Everything podcast, to round up the week in news. Then, they're joined by actor and SAG-AFTRA member Andrew Leeds to discuss the most recent vote by the union to authorize a strike. And THEN, they're joined by comedian Andy Kindler, host of the Thought Spiral podcast! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Republicans' absurd budget proposal, the Democrats successfully killing it, and SAG-AFTRA going on strike, as well as the disgusting corporate proposals that got the film and TV industry to this point. Alex Pareene then joins as he dives into the continuing story of inflation, and what could have been if the establishment wasn't so keen on ignoring its roots in price gouging. Next, he, Emma, and Sam look to the Republicans' grotesque $900bln defense bill as perfectly exemplary of the GOP's complete capitulation to anti-woke politics despite its stunning lack of popularity – something that's also seen in the falling popularity of the once-prophesied DeSantis campaign, before wrapping up the interview with an assessment of New York state politics post-Cuomo and what a strong NY Democratic party could mean on the national level. Andrew Leeds then walks through the central issues facing SAG-AFTRA, discussing the massive role residuals play in actors' income, and in qualifying for healthcare and other union benefits, only for the streaming revolution to nearly take these payments off the shelves entirely. After expanding on the attempted gigification of the acting industry, Andrew wraps up by discussing the incredible spirit of solidarity in the union (and their sister orgs), and what those on the outside can do to help. Andy Kindler concludes the first half as he assesses the incredible grifting done by Jimmy Door, and tackles why the hell some famous people get so obsessed with being wrong they dive headfirst into bigotry. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Fran Drescher's killer remarks to help launch SAG-AFTRA's strike, and watch Peter Hotez aptly summarize the legitimacy of the “lab leak” theory. Ben Shapiro continues his attacks on women's rights, plus, your IMs!

Jobs Report: We had another blockbuster job report. One would think that the Biden administration would be getting supreme praise. And guess what? Our titans of finance hate it. It means they must pay employees a bit more because the American worker has some leverage. Wall Street expected 225,000 jobs. Instead, 311,000 were created. My cataract experience: I have had cataracts for over five years. I hate interfacing with our healthcare system. As such, I only visit doctors or clinics as a last resort. I don't eat a lot of meat. I exercise — most times at 1 AM, three to four times a week. I don't drink or smoke. Suffice it to say, the upsell of my choices and the cost continue to prove we have a failed healthcare system. Worse, if you have a lot of money, we give you great healthcare. For the rest, they do the minimum. These are not bad people in the office I went to at all. The indoctrination from a failed system is all they know. Make rails public like freeways: Freeways and our roadways belong to the public. It gives us all equal access to travel throughout the country. Why are railways not owned by we-the-people as well? Why do we leave ourselves hostage to private companies— conglomerates of investors — to control our transportation circulatory system? Cut the #military budget: Biden said to show me your budget to show your priorities. Our military budget makes that statement at best suspect. Common Dreams posted an article titled “Progressives Say Military Budget Should Be Cut as Biden Floats $30 Billion Increase“ that we should all read. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

Is waging war inherent to human nature or is it a choice that states and leaders make?

Last week, the House passed a military spending bill that topped $800 billion dollars. Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of many books, including The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War (Simon & Schuster, 2020), talks about the massive budget, and why very few in politics or media seem to raise an eyebrow at the size of the military budget.

The United States's already colossal and record-breaking defense budget is about to get even bigger, with congressional negotiators proposing $858 billion for defense for 2023 — a $45 billion increase over President Joe Biden's already massive defense budget request. Lindsay Koshgarian, director of the National Priorities Project, joins Mark Dunlea of the Hudson Mohawk Magazine to discuss the spending.
