Sen. Bernie Sanders, proposed deep cuts to military spending in in favor of ambitious government programs at his campaign launch Saturday.

In front of an open crowd and freezing weather in Brooklyn, N.Y., the independent-turned-Democratic-presidential-hopeful held his first rally of the campaign, where he laid out a broad road map to what a Sanders presidency would look like. Included in the plan is scaling down the Pentagon's budget.

"Today, we say to the military-industrial-complex that we will not continue to spend $700 billion a year on the military — more than the next 10 nations combined," the White House hopeful told the crowd. "We're going to invest in affordable housing, we're going to invest in public education, we're going to invest in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure — not more nuclear weapons and never-ending wars."

Little bird says @BernieSanders insisted that all uniformed @CHICAGO_POLICE officers be stationed out of the range of cameras at his rally today. City should've left those officers in the neighborhoods. Call if ya need anything, Bern.

So standard democrat plan?

[LMAO]

Even if Bernie Sanders were  to cut all military spending it with still not come close to what he would love to spend on other programs

All the 'investing' Bernie wants to do isn't gong to mean squat if we are attacked and can't defend ourselves.  Crazy Bernie.  I was hoping he was going to retire.  Isn't this like the 10th time he's ran?
