The New Defense Budget (talkingpointsmemo.com)
 

there’s simply no way for the Pentagon to productively absorb that scale of resources on that timescale. Again, almost a 50% increase on a budget that is already massive in absolute and relative terms. If you think about what that scale of diversion means, you still won’t really quite grasp it, just as I’m not able to fully grasp it.

So who are they going to levy war against?

No idea what level of defense is actually necessary; not having a phone, or any bills or official correspondence sent in your name to your home will suffice, but I don't know what it takes which is less than that

I think its a combination of bribes and cultural relevance as a thing of the past

It started creating a ton of jobs in the renewable energy and electric vehicles space to cut the cost of electricity and getting around.

Republicans repealed it once they came to power

Lol. Its almost like you pay no attention to things like the Inflation Reduction Act and then claim that because you didn't pay attention, they did nothing.

Just negging

Elections are run by the states. He doesn’t have the power to stop them

Right now Democrats are in the minority. This is effectively demonstration that when they're in power, there will be prosecution
