Priorities
WEMU interviewed Dr. Raymond Tanter of U of M, who was with national security in the Reagan administration.

At one point he was asked if he thought this could become a wider war. His tone of voice was not disrespectful but his choice of words was...interesting.

He said no one else could challenge us. Our increase in military spending last year was greater than the military budgets of France and Germany combined. He said "they have not kept up in military spending, being more interested in presciption drugs and the like."
