Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley will be on Capitol Hill twice this week to defend the White House’s fiscal 2023 budget request, and push lawmakers to get work done on the spending plan before the November elections.
The two military leaders will appear before the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday and the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday. The appearances come just a few days after the White House unveiled its $773 billion defense budget plan for next fiscal year, which Republicans have already attacked as insufficient.

I am surprised that the powers that be want to provide the Armed Services with a 4.3% COLA, but with a 7.9% inflation factor, our service members are still behind... as I see it... but they are trying...

Two potted plants, driven by ideology. Let’s see if they have the cajones to tell the Congress that due to inflation heading towards 10%, it’s a budget decrease in very tenuous times.
