President Obama loves to spend, said former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. And Obama especially likes to throw cash around on social welfare programs, Santorum said in a response to a question at a town hall meeting at New England College Henniker, New Hampshire, about what he would do for veterans if he were to became President. But, he said, Obama was perfectly willing to propose cuts to veterans programs: “A 3.2 trillion dollar budget, and he picks this!”

Santorum went on to say that the defense department is off the table when it comes to cuts in his potential Administration.
