Satire for Sanity
Democrats, Republicans, Biden agree on staggering increase in military budget

6e3ed86b-3d55-4bd2-aacd-de3dc41ddc75


The Biden administration and congressional leaders in both the Democratic and Republican parties reached agreement early Wednesday on the passage of an overall budget bill funding federal spending for the rest of the current fiscal year, which runs until September 30.

The House of Representatives passed the legislation Wednesday night, divided into two sections. The military spending portion, providing a record $782 billion to the build-up of the US military machine, passed by an overwhelming bipartisan vote. The social spending portion, smaller at $730 billion, passed on a near party-line vote, 260-171, supported by all but one Democrat and only 39 Republicans.

WAVE OFF THAT CHOPPER FULL OF USELESS SPENDING, SOLDIER.

WE DON'T NEED MORE TRAINING ON PRONOUNS


Bungling Biden's DEMOCRAT-dominated Congress continues to allocate funds to produce weapons that the Pentagon itself says it doesn't need, and he won't use.

The extra deficit spending, we are told, would "fund more weapons to better prepare us to respond to aggression in a world that looks increasingly dangerous". Really?

Providing military defense is a valid function of the federal government. However, that doesn't give license to Bungling Biden's DEMOCRAT-dominated Congress to simply pile on more spending.

More spending will not result in a completely safe world for Americans. That's because that world doesn't exist.

In fiscal year 2023, the United States was already expected to spend more than $770 billion on national defense.

This is more than the next 10 countries spend combined.

  • Russia, for instance, spends close to $62 billion.
  • France and Germany spend almost $53 billion each.
  • Assuming China's numbers are accurate, it spends $252 billion.
When considering how much more money bungling Bides and his defense stock-owning Congressional cohorts think is worth spending, keep in mind that not every additional dollar of military spending will result in enhanced national security.

That's because government intentions do not equal results. Elected officials and bureaucrats have weak incentives to sensibly manage tax dollars.

They are not rewarded for maximizing taxpayer value, nor are they punished for unnecessary expenditures.

In addition, in bungling Biden's woke American dystopia, leftist interest groups often drive political decisions that run counter to the best interest of the public.

Klepto-Joe stole 7.5 billion dollars of Afghanistan's money from starving Afghans.

You can imagine how popular that has made Americans with the new Afghan government.

You two should go on the road together like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. :thup:
 
The record military spending is supplemented by another $14 billion, labeled “aid to Ukraine,” although the bulk of it is spending to support US military operations in Eastern Europe, including the deployment of thousands of additional troops, tanks and warplanes.

NATO dumbfuckery just cost the US taxpayer another $14 billion dollars.
