As the President said, he didn’t like the bill but his first priority as President is to defend our country.
The new law goes a long way towards rebuilding our depleted military - and giving our troops a long-deserved pay raise for their hard work serving our country.
That comes before every thing else and conservatives have to swallow castor oil to get it accomplished.
What? The Defense Department is one of the worst bloated bureaucracies. They can’t account for how the money is spent now, so give them more? Also, the spending is based almost entirely on politics and what the contractors want to sell to the government, not on military need.
Our military won’t do us much good when the country goes bankrupt from the debt. No, this bill is as bad as it seems.
There is no reason why Conservatives have to fund leftist priorities in order to get money for the military.
