Last month Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which provides for an overall increase in military spending and the acquisition of new defense equipment. Among the budgeted expenses are F-35 Joint Strike fighters, ground combat vehicles, and Virginia-class submarines.
However, the bill has yet to receive funding from Congress.
The timing of the shutdown is especially concerning given the security threats the United States faces both abroad and at home. North Korea has repeatedly threatened to strike the United States with a nuclear weapon in recent months, and the United States saw several terror attacks last year.
The last time the government shutdown was in 2013 under President Barack Obama.

Face it the Dems want to destroy the USA. That is why their policies support the “Foreign Invasion”.

President Trump is correct. Democrats loathe the military.
To: cba123
More accurately, the Dems care more about their own
power than anything else.
Their power and control -- first, last and always.

for the election in November, this should be a simple concept for our campaign to use. It’s so simple that even a caveman or Democrat can understand it.
