Politicus USA has the article Bernie Sanders Demands War Tax On Millionaires To Pay For GOP Military Spending Increase.  The article quotes Sanders’ statement as follows:

The Republican Party is going to have to end their hypocrisy with regard to deficits and the national debt. They are going to have to be honest with the American people. Wars are enormously expensive, not only in terms of human life and suffering, but in terms of the budget. If the Republicans want another war in the Mideast, they are going to have to tell the American people how much it will cost them and how it will be paid for.

Either the Republicans agree to pay for it, or they tell the truth about the deficit and debt.  The Republicans know full well, that under the current economic situation, the deficit could stand to be, and actually needs to be higher than it is now.  Their attempts to cut all non-war related spending on the backs of the poor and middle-class has absolutely nothing to do with the economics of deficits and debt.  It has everything to do with draining the last drop of blood from the poor and middle-class so they can give it to the top 0.1%.
