Biden's New Budget Gives $31 Billion Gift to War Industry

<p>On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard &nbsp;Wolff discuss the Biden administration's budget proposal for the coming &nbsp;year on Monday, proposing an enormous increase to the military budget &nbsp;as the new Cold War intensifies. Biden &nbsp;also included a proposal to tax the ultra-rich, but is this really &nbsp;enough to make a dent in the enormous level of inequality in this &nbsp;country?</p> <p>Professor Richard Wolff is an author &amp; co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
