Should the government increase or decrease military spending?

Are we spending more to help out other countries because if that's the case it's fine right were it is!!

Spending should be more efficient.

Decrease military spending by not giving our money away to non-Democratic countries

Spend responsibly

remove taxation, remove all military spending

Focus Military to a more Roman style where soldiers, unarmed, are put to work reconstructing the nations infrastructure and providing important services.

If you want to fix health PLEASE make porn and all that garbage ILLEGAL!! People are completely blind to the negative effects it’s had on the entire WORLD and a HUGE part of the reason why the left has gone so insane (and many on the right also) is because this is not natural, it is ruining the world way way way way way more then gmo and all that horrible stuff that I am against firmly!!

The government should have more transparency with how these funds are allocated before increasing or decreasing

Yes for supporting our troops! No for additional money thrown away on stupidity like leaving weapons in a foreign country!

It depends on what the plans for the military are. It also depends on how they would utilize the increase. I would not decrease it.

We need to find a way to make it cheaper. Things such as a bolt should not end up costing so much money when it finally gets to the military. It can stay the same

depends on what there doing with it are they sticking there nose in other peoples business trying to influence one group over another or wait another VIETNAM

Increase, but the spending should be on new tech and for our own military, not on foreign militaries.

They should mainly focus spending on actual military strength instead of wasting it on "DIE" ("diversity, inclusion, and equity")

Government waste and abuse needs to be addressed. The government does not need to spend MORE money on military, it desperately needs to audit the funds it currently spends.

The activity duty budget should remain the same. Government contracts and pension for petty discharge should be investigated.

A audit should be held on all government spending so the American people can see where the money is actually going.

I don’t want to increase spending of the war machine. I want to increase spending if it protects our borders

Military spending should be kept on domestic security and not foreign nation building or proxy wars.

Yes we need a strong military. However if the increase in funding is going to go for woke BS then NO

Why have an army these individuals didn't are sacrificing thier lives for a fight they didn't start all government officials need to be military

Keep the same. Just spend it better. Stop giving billions and billions to foreign countries and use the money to help our vets

Decrease spending on equipment increase spending on soldiers decrease total spending on the military industrial complex

Yes, and no. I think it should only be increased if there’s new equipment coming available, or if anything needs to be updated in general.

Increase, or maintain it to ensure readiness and deterrence concerning recent geopolitical developments

Spending the necessary amount to stay on top but not for overthrowing other countries and for not for profit

I should be able to choose how my tax dollars are spent, whether that means 100% to the military or split it 50/50 with education.

We should always have the capability of our current military industrial complex, but return to isolationism

Should be investigated in depth regarding the accurate disbursement of funds and change the budget and actions accordingly

What we need is transparency and accountability in government spending. I want a strong military but I know the money is being wasted and abused, therefore, I works not vote to increase spending. I would vote to FIX the current system of waste, fraud, abuse and laundering.

Group with the enemy as the enemy get stronger we shoulh keep adding on to are spending make keeping us ahead

Increase, But only increase the salary of our soldiers. There should be no reason our soldiers should struggle to make house and car payments.

Homeland military spending should be increased but foreign military spending should be drastically reduced.

U.S. should only have a defensive military. We don’t need to fight innocent Arabs in the Middle East for some Jews in Israel.

Decrease unless it’s for the cause of our own country. (Ex. Not wasting billions of dollars for another country (Ukraine).)

Decrease military spending on non Essential military equipment & food. However essential should be clearly defined & subject to change as needed.

We pay enough to be superior to our adversaries, but waste so much that we think we need to increase spending. Trim the fat!

See to it that current military spending is done so efficiently, then see if it needs more or less funding

Neither, however the military should be prepared to adapt and expand spending as new technology emerges and as required circumstantially.

We should be bolstering our military readiness here at home. We should not be providing other countries with our military equipment, we are headed towards WW3 and will not be prepared

Spending should be reevaluated after waste is drastically reduced.

we should redirect military attention and keep spending where it is

Take the money we spend on NATO and spend it on the US military

Only after a complete audit of where every penny of military spending goes

Increase, only after auditing current spending to reallocate more efficiently

I am in favor of smart spending. Cutting down on unnecessary programs while keeping what is necessary and strategic and increasing funding where it is realistically necessary.

I don't trust anything the government says

Increase until we make up for what Biden and his AMERICA FOR SALE cronies have given to our enemies

Get out of NATO and use military to protect the border

Military spending should not be increased until a full review on current spending is conducted by a third party reviewer.

No increase in spending if it is to be used for inclusion and diversity training. It should only be used to defend the nation, not for social experiments.

Audit expenditures; increase oversight, transparency and accountability.

We should not interfere in other counties But at this point we should just be able to defend ourselves

No, the funding needs to be managed and overseen better

Keep our military strong, but stop fraud, waste & abuse.

The military needs to be strong, but we need to be more selective in how we police the world

Decrease by pulling out of foreign conflicts and protecting our borders.

Neither but increase when it is necessary.

Neither, current spending is fine. Bring ALL our military home.

Increase if in time of need

Decrease as it has gone woke

Budget better with the money you have.

Prioritize Bridget better and utilize military personnel more so than contractors

Increase military pay and expand benefits.

Increase if it’s truly needed but not for the military industrial complex.

Neither. The DoD needs to find a way to change the mindset of spend it all this year so we get it next year. Fiscal conservation is under utilized and a process should be explored to reward those DoD entities who spend less than their budget and project costs out 4+ years to avoid large budget bumps.

Neither, but end spend it or lose it budgets.
