Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: Operations and support for the core of defense spending are under discussion.

It calculated the operating costs for every military unit and built a tool to model what changes will do to costs. CBO Director Keith Hall joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for the details.
