This Week in Washington: 4/27/09

The Heritage Foundation's This Week in Washington video discusses four major issues: out of control federal spending and President Obama's proposed $100 million cut in budget, proposed Energy Policy measures such as Cap and Trade which will result to high unemployment, Congressional interrogation hearings that are really a Bush Bashing Commission, and the expansion of federal hate crimes law.

We don't have more money for the military. We can't afford the ridiculous price of what we've got. Larger than 2x the rest of the world combined. Why? To enrich the international war contractors, and their bankers. And eventually these weapons will be used on us.

All of those examples would cover the price of paint for a couple of war helicopters. Want to cut taxes? Cut the war budget. That's where most of the discretionary spending and waste is.
