Mark Meadows: Our Deficit Is the Number 1 National Security Risk

EXCERPT:

MEADOWS: "I am willing to go there. In fact, I’ve made public statements, Joe, because our deficit, I believe, is our number one national security risk, more so than anything else. In fact, when we’re looking at the Department of Defense, I believe that we need to give more money to our fighting men and women and less money to those in the Pentagon, just a few miles from here. You know, I -- I believe that we could probably cut some of the fat from there, some 100 to 200,000 employees that do very little of the fighting and -- and certainly more of the bureaucracy. So, there -- there's areas to look at trimming back across the spectrum. And so to suggest that it’s only a one aspect would not be accurate."
