Funding for the military was already passed for two years in this year’s earlier Omnibus.
The report the writer is referring to is indeed accurate but the writer seems not aware that POTUS got $700 billion for this fiscal year and $716 billion through 2020. The DOD is now funded to the hilt because of POTUS’s dealmaking. When he realized Congress would not give him the funding for the Wall, he settled for two years of near triple funding for rebuilding the military.
Not only is the DOD now rich again, but POTUS at his discretion may also declare the southern border to be a risk to national security and use military funds to build the Wall!
Do we really need all 800 or so military bases and to spend as much as any four nations combined?
Defend our borders; kill the occasional bad guys before they can kill us, other than that let the rest of the world pay for it’s own defense.
