The Average Taxpayer Shelled Out Over $4,000 For War and Weapons Last Year
We speak with Lindsay Koshgarian, the Program Director of the National Priorities Project, where she oversees NationalPriorities.org. Her work on the federal budget includes analysis of the federal budget process and politics, military spending, and specifically how federal budget choices for different spending priorities and taxation interact. She has an article at Common Dreams we discuss “The Average Taxpayer Shelled Out Over $4,000 for War and Weapons Last Year.”
