On April 8, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the approval of a $1 trillion defense budget, marking the largest in the United States' history. The budget reflects the administration's commitment to rebuilding the military to counter global threats, while also emphasizing cost- consciousness. Critics have highlighted the significant increase in military spending, contrasting it with previous statements about reducing government expenditure.
Poster Comment:
Even if Musk saves us one trillion dollars in fraud waste and abuse, Trump will fail the economy. WE need to cut more than 700 US military bases overseas and bring back the 53,000 US military stationed near Israel.
We also need to End the FED to cut $2.2 trillion from the budget. Otherwise, we fail and itis Civil War 2.
PS: The total of US military spending is from DOD and 6 other agencies. The current real total is $1.6 trillion so we are headed to $1.7 trillion. Not going to happen succesfully.
