But let’s cut through the spin: while this funds critical defense needs, the Pentagon’s budget ballooned from $654B in 2019 to $826B today. Where’s the audit showing this cash isn’t fueling contractor pork? Golden Dome security matters, but real border defense requires slashing the $89B DHS budget’s asylum backlog waste. This bill’s a start, but until we gut the $7.3B in annual defense consulting contracts and kill programs like the F-35’s $1.7T lifecycle cost, it’s just shuffling deck chairs.
