Even though the Department of Defense (DoD) has never had an official budget which reached that figure, it remains the actual cost of total US military spending has for several years running actually exceeded $1 trillion.

Holy crap, this might ACTUALLY be a cut!?!

I seriously doubt they won't continue the pattern of going over budget now that they have more official money, but we shall see I guess.

It is possible that we might at least have better records of what things are spent on at least.

Since Elon's been overhauling the payment recording process so that we actually have proper documentation for what is spent where, and how...instead of the old system where it was basically just a dark void of nothing.

Right? Looks like activist judges are going to prevent every social policy and budget reduction while the MIC gets record setting pork.

And have any of the changes we've celebrated been codified into law yet?

Oh, come the fuck on.

So, we have DOGE. They cut a bunch of shit. Congress re-funded it or whatever. Judges blocked everything they could too. Now we're doing massive military spending.

What are we doing here, exactly?

Depending on what's in the budget, this could be as simple as needing to replenish stockpiles after Biden gave it all away to the borderlands.

This is accurate. We sent billions to the ukes and biden emptied our strategic oil reserve on reducing gas prices a couple times to try to boost his polling numbers.

I think it's like poker when you go 'all in'.

We're going to need that trillion army to take over Canada and Greenland.

I thought we were already doing that in the sub-trillion budget.

I um................ did not vote for this

If they go aggressively after fraud and unethical practices with big contracts they may still do some good, mayhaps.

Yeah, but if they cut out the fraud and corruption, there'd be no need for such a massive budget.

An absurd amount of the military budget is actually for healthcare.

How do I check if my DOD application for a C8 Corvette was approved?

I need that piece of equipment to patrol my neighborhood for commies and illegals!

The defense budget is still lower than the welfare budget but they hide that one by calling it non-discretionaey
