Larry Wilkerson tells Paul Jay that a massive increase in military spending is a disastrous policy, intended to serve the commercial interest of the military industrial complex, and the cuts to pay for it, are coming from all the wrong places.

Wilkerson is an adjunct professor at the College of William & Mary where he teaches courses on US national security.
