The Hill: Senate panel adds $25B to Biden's defense budget
The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved a $778 billion defense policy bill, adding nearly $25 billion more to the defense budget than the Biden administration requested.
The funding boost would go entirely to the Pentagon, giving the department $740.3 billion compared to the Biden administration’s request for $715 billion.
The remainder of the budget goes to non-Pentagon defense programs, such as the Energy Department’s nuclear weapons programs.
The increase was approved as a Republican-proposed amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that received bipartisan support when the committee met behind closed doors to consider the bill Wednesday night.

Did Blinken help draft the WH defense proposal? He was VP Biden's National Security advisor.

But we are always told the Dems are weak on our military!

Anti military Democrat Senators often vote to keep military bases in their district due to payroll, A Dim Senator could vote for an increase in military spending, because the hardware is built in their district.
"But Republicans argued that when accounting for inflation, the proposal would actually be a cut compared to last year. Instead, they have been pushing for a 3 to 5 percent increase above inflation.
With the Senate Armed Services Committee evenly split between the parties, Republicans needed just one Democrat to side with them to approve the funding boost.
And with the Senate split 50-50, Democrats are also likely to need Republicans to pass the defense bill, which progressives routinely oppose."
Wow people just do not read the articles.
