Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The Senate has overwhelmingly approved a sweeping defense policy bill that would pump $700 billion into the military, putting the U.S. armed forces on track for a budget greater than at any time during the decade-plus wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Senators passed the legislation by an 89-8 vote Monday. The measure authorizes $700 billion in military spending for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, expands U.S. missile defenses in response to North Korea's growing hostility and refuses to allow excess military bases to be closed. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-defense-policy-bill-20170918-story.html GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 It passed 89-8, that means the Democrats also voted for it And I thought Trump's proposed $640 Billion military budget was too big, they even raised it higher than Trump wanted GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chic 20,830 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It'll all be wasted on planes that'll explode on their first use and then Obama will be blamed for it not being given $4 trillion more in charity In all honesty, this will be good if it's allocated towards defense against nuclear weaponry. This is a top priority right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid you live here and don't "support our troops" They're the people protecting our freedom by going to war with people that could never actually threaten our freedom This is so stupid We already spend four times as much as China which is the next country down in terms of military spending. We've already got the most advanced and deadliest military that's ever existed. The f*ck do we need to make it even bigger for?
