Democratic presidential candidate Dennis J. Kucinich has called for $60 billion to provide universal preschool and proposes paying for the plan with a 15 percent cut in Pentagon spending.
"The Pentagon budget has just gone through the roof," the Ohio congressman said at a forum in Ottumwa, Iowa, on Sunday. "We need a critical analysis and a real effort to claim back money from the Pentagon."
The Democratic presidential candidate from Ohio didn't specify all the spending cuts he would push, but did single out missile defense, the Associated Press reports.
"I'm not talking about trimming around the edges here," he said.
