GOP Moans Over $778 Billion Defense Pork, But Denounces "Tax And Spend" Bill

[skews13]

You can't make this shit up.

While Democrats debate their Build Back Better Act that could materially improve the lives of millions of Americans, Republicans are complaining that the reconciliation bill is taking priority over what they think federal money should be used for: a bloated defense spending bill that funds an agency that has never passed an audit.

The National Defense Authorization Act is slated to cost a whopping $778 billion, five percent higher than the amount that was appropriated for defense for this fiscal year. This is a massive amount of spending that would — if held at this level over 10 years — amount to nearly 4.5 times the amount that the $1.75 trillion reconciliation bill would cost in the same amount of time. Of course, defense spending is rarely held static, and usually grows year by year.

With four weeks left on the congressional calendar, the defense budget is sure to pass, as it always does.

Where is the accountability for all of that pork?

And if that's not enough for those tax and spend Republicans, look at this theft of tax payer money.

Senate Quietly Adds $10 Billion to Pentagon Budget While Blocking Climate Action

The addition alone is equivalent to the climate funding that Kyrsten Sinema wants to cut from the reconciliation bill.

Why isn't somebody going to jail?

Passstttttt……defense spending is in the constitution. All the other BS the demleftists dreamed up to buy votes is not.

Protecting ourselves is a luxury that is not required.

Protecting ourselves is pork spending.

Protecting ourselves is not a concern of Democrats, Afghanistan is proof of that. The open border allowing an illegal invasion is proof that the Democrats hate americans and hold contempt for our safety.

Defense spending? I didn't see any defense spending in the bill. It was more like the pretend infrastructure bill that funded child care.

This is the second most stupid goddam thread in the history of USMB. Period.
