Biden Defunds The Military
Biden is making a huge mistake.
In a recent interview with Fox Business, Republican Rep. Stephanie Bice slammed President Biden over his newly proposed $5.8 trillion budget for fiscal year 2023 which she claims is cutting financial support to the U.S. military.
Rep. Bice explained that China has significantly increased their financial support of their military by 7% in the last year. While President Biden on the other hand has decreased funding for our military which as a result will not be able to “keep pace” with enemies like Russia and China.
In transcript provided by Breitbart, Rep. Bice explained, “You know, the budget has a lot of vague information in there, but one of the things that was really clear was the defense numbers, and the 4% increase doesn’t meet those inflationary pressures that we’re seeing of 8% currently. And if you look at our … adversaries like China, they’ve upped their military spending 7%, just in the last year. We have to look at increasing military spending to be able to keep pace with countries like China and Russia. And the proposed budget, I think, was really an insult to our military.”
