* The annual defense budget is a must-pass piece of legislation funding military
* Negotiations dragged on this year over security concerns on Russia and China
* The $770 billion total is $25 billion more than what Biden originally requested
* It also includes a guaranteed basic income for qualified troops and reforms to the sexual assault and harassment reporting and justice system
The United States Senate voted 89 - 10 on Wednesday to authorize $770 billion in defense spending over the next fiscal year.
This year's National Defense Authorization Act, an annual must-pass piece of legislation, will now head to President Joe Biden's desk with $25 billion more in the final budget than he initially requested.
Authorizing about 5 percent more military spending than last year, the 2022 NDAA is a compromise after intense debate between House and Senate Democrats and Republicans and being stalled by disputes over China and Russia policy.

The most lavishly funded welfare program in human history must remain lavishly funded.
To show his support for sexual assault program SHARP, Joe Biden will visit DOD installations world wide and demonstrate inappropriate touching and feeling over and over again.

Can the he/she, who is projecting so much explain to the readers, why more SHARP training will work, where it has not before?
Is 7:47 capable of thought experiments in that they have the intestinal fortitude, the brains, and the intellectual honesty? From my vantage point the appear not to have it.
There must be certain places where they do not have SHARP or similar programs like Hollywood, the Democrat Party, universities, ...
SHARP is necessary. It is yearly training. What more can we do? Make it quarterly. training ? We could do that. It might work. Metrics might prove that it works. What if it doesn't or what f the decrease is slight? Do we make the raining monthly or weekly? If we do, what does it say about us?
Is there a better way than just holding more or different training?
If you increase training hours at some point people just are not going to pay attention simply because it is physically impossible due to their ass hurts from sitting in a chair too long, low blood sugar or something.
Joe Biden's push for a new and improved program is laughable given that Joe is Mr. PAW PRINTS. Joe was all over the kids in Kentucky this week.
Joe missed his calling. He should have been a masseuse.
I think the four areas that need improvement, when it comes to sexual harassment are Hollywood, Academia, generic culture and deployments. It is really hard to do something about deployments in the short term.
What about Hollywood. They took cigarettes out of film. About 20% of the population still smokers. Maybe Hollywood can tone down the nudity and sexual content overall?
And Academia? Those guys are still out to lunch.
Stay classy, Lololololololo!
