The president of the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation is calling for Capitol Hill to examine defense spending when considering budget cuts.
Kevin Roberts, the president of the organization, said in a new piece in the American Conservative that he believes there are conservatives in Congress willing to pursue military spending reform alongside non-defense spending, which he described as “a refreshing change from the Washington status quo.”"Today’s Pentagon is approaching a 13-figure annual budget," he wrote.
He referenced legendary Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane, whose out-of-the-box thinking propelled his team to the playoffs despite a low payroll and inspired the movie Moneyball, saying they should look to his philosophy as an example.
