Department of Education: $68 B for FY2019
Department of Defense: $718 B for FY2019
That's fine to call for cuts to education (and calling for them is not a racist action, btw), but the amount of money spent at DOD is 10 times that of DOE. There are no calls by Republicans to spend less at DOD -- and that is because, to Sal's point, they want 'more money for things they support', just as there aren't call for cuts in SS by Democrats.
