As part of a record $3.8 trillion budget proposal, the Obama administration is asking Congress to increase spending on the US nuclear arsenal by more than $7 billion over the next five years. Obama is seeking the extra money despite a pledge to cut the US arsenal and seek a nuclear weapons-free world. The proposal includes large funding increases for a new plutonium production facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Jay Coghlan, executive director of Nuclear Watch of New Mexico talks about it.

This isn't "defense."

The new budget from the White House will push US military spending well above $2 billion a day.
