The House Armed Services Committee voted Wednesday to add nearly $25 billion to President Biden’s proposed defense budget as more than a dozen Democrats sided with Republicans on bulking up Pentagon funding.
The committee voted 42-17 on an amendment from Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), the ranking member of the panel, to set the fiscal 2022 defense budget at $778 billion — $37 billion more than approved for this year and $25 billion more than Biden asked for next year.
“Most importantly, this amendment ensures we have the resources to counter the growing threat from China and other adversaries,” Rogers said at the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) markup.
The bulk of the funding in the amendment, $9.8 billion, would go toward procurement, including $4.7 billion more for shipbuilding, $1.7 billion for aircraft and $878 million for combat vehicles.

Buahahahahahaha.
Uless they build another 5 super carriers for the South Pacific, they are blowing gas out ther collective ass.
All this money will go to education in the military about CRT and Transgenbder surgeries for lefty favored military brass.They intend to cornhole themselves all the way to Lucknow.
We need PDJT badly. The lefty asshats are destroyong America with their grift, saying one thing and doing the other.
It’s a bribe to keep the military onside. There will be no
Pentagon whistleblower on the Afghanistan.
Yep.
Well at least you can say you’re on the side of Barbara Lee now...
The Afghani junkyard
DoD and the contractors don’t GAF. Today’s casualties were Q2 expectations.
Recall what was left behind during the Afghanistan retreat and it’s pretty much even-steven.
25B for for what ? More tranny operations ?
Makes sense, what with the recent expenditure of material in the Middle East. A hefty re-stocking is in order. :/
sure! why not?! there’s got to be another country we can build an army for...
These jerks just gave $90 billion of our military hardware to the enemy, and they want more money?
In four years of PDJT the budget for the critically important Navy barely moved at all. While China was building ships as fast as they could, we did almost nothing.
I agreem, but that was on PDJTs second term agenda.But MAGA elected will do that job. Biden? Nope.
Actually, Biden promised this amount to the Taliban to let our people go; but it is not a ransom.
