WASHINGTON ― Defense Department spending would see a 4% increase in fiscal 2023 under a plan released by the White House on Monday, significantly above what administration officials wanted last year but likely not enough to satisfy congressional Republicans.
Administration officials said the $773 billion plan includes new money to help Ukraine in its fight against Russia, new investments in military aircraft and nuclear deterrence systems, and enough funding to counter “persistent threats including those posed by North Korea, Iran and violent extremist organizations.”

“Likely not enough to satisfy congressional Republicans”. Funny how the report left out how the progressive think it’s too much. Which group will Biden capitulate to?

Progressives grit their teeth as defense wins big in spending bill
Russia’s assault on Ukraine has scrambled the left’s game plan for Congress’ looming funding pact, which is expected to include significant military cash.
