Military budget set to swell
CQ Budget, Ep. 247
The Armed Services panels in both chambers have now weighed in on the fiscal 2023 national security budget. Peter Cohn and John M. Donnelly discuss how they will keep up the pressure on appropriators to add tens of billions of dollars more to President Joe Biden’s defense proposals.
Show Notes:
- Defense spending battle lines
- House panel’s NDAA, unlike Senate’s, sticks to Biden’s budget
- Senate Armed Services panel goes big with new defense budget
- New requests bring military’s ‘unfunded priorities’ above $21 billion
