The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2025 has once again sailed through Congress, this time with an eye-watering price tag of $895 billion. While the bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support 85- 14 in the Senate and 281-140 in the House its sheer size and scope raise serious questions about the priorities of the Biden administration and lawmakers.
Poster Comment:
That $895 billion is not the total MIC spending. Other agencies spent $621 billion on the military last year so the total next year is $1.6 trillion plus. Veterans Affairs, Dept of Energy (nuclear weapons), DHS, DIA, CIA, State Dept and Social Security.
