Pentagon preparing $400 billion cut to Trump administration's requested defense budget - report
|
[Jpost] The reduced funding could potentially affect the pace at which the US rebuilds its weapons stockpiles depleted during the war with Iran.
The Pentagon is quietly drafting a $1.1 trillion defense budget, Politico reported on Thursday, citing a defense industry official, two former officials, and another person familiar with the matter.
Such a budget cuts $400 billion from the "supersized" $1.5 trillion budget requested by US President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...
According to Politico, the move could indicate what the political field will look like for the Republican Party after the midterm elections.
"The Pentagon can’t admit this," one of the sources told Politico, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The unprecedented budget is hinged on a process called reconciliation, Politico reported, which would allow Republican politicians to add $350 billion to a $1.15 trillion base budget.
The sources told Politico that Pentagon planners are considering what defense programs would be prioritized when faced with the reduced budget.
"None of them expect anywhere close to $1.5 trillion," one of the former officials said. "They are absolutely developing plans [for less], and that is much more the expectation than anything close to $1.5 trillion."
BUDGET CUT COULD HINDER US EFFORTS TO REBUILD DEPLETED WEAPONS STOCKPILES
The reduced funding could disrupt the US Defense Department’s efforts to enter new defense agreements, continue with existing programs, and potentially affect the pace at which the US rebuilds its weapons stockpiles depleted during the war with Iran.
Citing the Pentagon’s latest estimates, the US’s cost of war with Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
sits at around $47 billion, some $29 billion of which is from critical munitions replacements.
White House budget director Russell Vought reportedly said earlier this month that the Trump administration has no developed alternatives to fund critical Pentagon programs if Congress doesn’t back the White House’s plan.
"Republicans are increasingly angry at the administration on the defense front," the former official said. It’s "unlikely that anything drastic, a $1.5 trillion budget, would happen."
