schatz regarding the overall spending versus military spending. i wanted to know, my understanding is 50% of our tax dollars go to the military. and the ndaa bill at the end of the year that's for national defense authorization act, when these bills come about you can pretty much throw anything in it and if anyone questions it, they come back with the old, you're not supporting our troops. then there was the cost plus spending i learned of from the film "iraq for sale" about 15 years ago. i wanted mr. schatz to address these things that i just brought up. >> much longer conversation talking about military spending, but we do care about it. in the congressional pig book we identify wasteful spending on defense. going back to the grace commission, $424 billion of wasteful spending. 25 of that was defense. defense is not 50% of the budget. it's half of discretionary spending but there's also non-discretionary entitlement spending which is 60% of the budget these days. >> paul from greenfield center, new york, on the republican line. good morning. >>
