Go back to trump spending
I believe that the US should reduce foreign military presence and not allow historic diplomatic relations influence current military missions based on furthering personal political agenda
Increase, after the military bans DEI, tranny's and soy boys. We need a tough and strong military not a puny and weak disgrace.
Pay soldiers a higher wage. Give more compensation once they have completed 4 years of service. Spend less money on experience and unused machinery and technology.
Decrease, the military industrial complex and intelligence apparatus should be completely dismantled.
Decrease, and end all financial support for all military industrial complex projects as well as the intelligence community.
should be limited with spending should be ran thru the house for bill paying
Yes, but we need to excersize eminent domain over the corporations of the mulitary industrial complex, then sell those corporations to their employees so that they become industrial co-operatives.
Optimize the budgets and allies
decrease we should try to make it more effective cost benefit wise
Keep the funding the same but do not be wasteful with how the money is spend or used
The U.S. Federal Government needs a proper budget for all branches of government, with a reasonable sum invested in keeping our military strong.
I don’t think that it should be increased or decreased when needed but there should be transparency to anything government funded. Many companies overcharge under government contracts for supplies.
We should eliminate waste in the military budget but allow for budgetary flexibility
Military spending should be allocated more efficiently, and costs should be reduced. For every dollar spent, only a few directly benifit the Military or it's members. Most of it benifits contractors and politicians.
Increase spending for necessary improvements
Decrease it rationally & transfer any sum towards the Nasa budget.
Decrease, but only if the reduced spending goes to economic or environmental support.
Depending if we need it or not.
Decrease, money is better used on educational and cultural programs. There must be a way to keep peace without military strength.
Increase to war time levels.
It's extremely complicated. I don't have enough knowledge on the subject to say.
spend it on usefull stuff instead of gay pride parades
Increase, but the money should be spent on better training programs.
Neither should be done, the military gets a decent amount of funding as and it shouldn't be lowered or higher.
Decrease, in order to reduce our deficit
redirect spending some of the spending to target education , paying off national debt , create a more universal health care system and reinforce infrastructure
Decrease, sight of blood makes me sick to the stomach, bloodshed through combat/violence is immoral, and bloodshed is disgusting.
If we decrease now, we'll be overtaken by China. Until the existential threat that is China is dealt with, we cannot afford to allow them to gain strength while we falter.
