Read more As he tried to make the case for military reform, Mr. Sanders cited the jaw-dropping cost of maintaining nuclear weapons. Depending on the context, his numbers can be seen as accurate -- or off. Here are the facts: The United States is projected to spend $348 billion, or $35 billion a year, to maintain its nuclear arsenal over the next decade, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office of the Obama administration's nuclear plans. — Steve Eder Close Mrs. Clinton said that wages, when adjusted for inflation, have been stagnant since the end of the Clinton administration. True, but the credit is misplaced. Read more Mrs. Clinton's claim that wages have been stagnant since the turn of the century and the end of her husband's administration is accurate, according to purchasing power data from the Pew Research Center. But in reality, inflation-adjusted wages have stalled for much longer, going back roughly four decades, the research shows. — Steve Eder Close Mrs. Clinton said she introduced legislation to rein in executive compensation on Wall Street. True, but it didn't go far. Read more In defending her record on Wall Street, Mrs. Clinton cited a (rather obscure) piece of legislation that she introduced while in the United States Senate to clamp down on executive compensation. While it is true that she introduced a bill called the Corporate Executive Compensation Accountability and Transparency Act in April 2008, the proposal did not go very far. The record shows that the bill was introduced, with no co-sponsors, and referred to the Committee on Finance. No further action was taken, Senate records show. — Steve Eder Close Mr. O'Malley said parents and students were being charged 7% to 8% interest on government-backed college loans. Overstated.
