*House 738 Million Military Bill
*738 Billion For Military
Dec 12, 2019 (By: Jake Johnson, Common Dreams) More than 180 House Democrats joined a nearly united Republican caucus Wednesday night to pass a sweeping $738 billion military spending bill that gives President Donald Trump his long-sought “Space Force,” free rein to wage endless wars, and a green light to continue fueling the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen. Dec 12, 2019 More than 180 House Democrats joined a nearly united Republican caucus Wednesday night to pass a sweeping $738 billion military spending bill that gives President Donald Trump his long-sought. Dec 09, 2019 The $738 billion bill, which includes an additional $5.3 billion earmarked for emergency disaster recovery, charts out a three-year ’phased repeal’ of the policy that requires VA payments to. ’There is no pressing reason for Congress to shower Trump, his Saudi friends, and the Pentagon contractors of the military-industrial complex with this $738-billion taxpayer giveaway right now,’.
Who says Congress never gets anything done? In July, lawmakers voted along bipartisan lines to pass a budget deal (now also Trump-approved) that will fund the federal government for the next two years, and help the United States avoid a potentially catastrophic default on its debt for the same period. But the deal didn’t come cheap: it came at the price of an astoundingly high, $738 billion military budget.
To put that in context, Democrats crowed that they had provided a larger increase for domestic programs than for military spending – but military spending will still eat up 53 cents out of every budget dollar, with $738 billion for the military and only $632 billion for literally everything else the discretionary budget covers. That means the military gets $738 billion, while education, public health, scientific research, environmental protection, affordable housing, local economic development, veterans’ health, federal courts, the State Department, and more get only $632 billion, combined.
Hundreds of billions of that $738 billion will be wasted. More than $300 billion will go to corporations through lucrative Pentagon contracts. Roughly $150 billion will go toward maintaining the 800 foreign military bases that continue to stoke aggression and enable pointless wars. Roughly $66 billion will go toward fighting endless wars. And the list goes on. We’ve estimated that the U.S. could safely cut as much as $350 billion from this budget to reinvest in other priorities like health care, climate change or job creation.House 738 Million Military Bill
Despite some pretty impressive testimony to this effect, Congress hasn’t yet gotten the message. The bill, which represented a deal negotiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, passed 67-28 in the Senate, with nearly all of the opposition coming from deficit-hawk Republicans, and 284-149 in the House, with only sixteen Democrats opposing it. Of the Democrats that did oppose the deal, most did so as deficit hawks themselves, not because they opposed the dangerous and wasteful military budget.
One exception was Representative Ilhan Omar, whose statement on the deal said, “I cannot in good conscience support a bill that continues to throw billions of dollars at endless wars and Pentagon contractors. In order to pursue peace and prosperity at home, we must not continue to destabilize entire countries, fuel migration crises, and put American troops at risk.”
A $738 billion military budget is too high a price to pay. It’s time we cut the Pentagon budget and reinvested in everything America so desperately needs: good jobs, clean energy, health care and education access for all.
