On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about military spending. In January 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower gave a farewell address about the influence of a rising "military-industrial complex." What have the costs been since then? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. The $725 billion military budget is the highest since World War II. What will it take to cut military expenditures? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Lawrence Wittner, Professor of History at the State University of New York, Albany, and former President of the Peace History Society.
William Hartung, director of the Arms and Security Initiative at the New America Foundation and has written for the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times.
