It overwhelming passed, cause of course. Without any debate really. Compared to the quarter of the amount of money they took months to negotiate with the infrastructure it's just so absurd-- infuriating actually.

Always find it interesting how the military budget is given as a yearly total while anything good like the infrastructure or BBB plan are given in 10 year figures.
This is an $8 Trillion military budget and they just denied even half that for literally maintaining the fucking roads.
Love how our interstate highway system was built for military transport and civilian use was an afterthought and now we won't even spend money on infrastructure because the US is hollowing itself out blowing all the ill gotten gains of the first world on military contractors that basically amount to MLM schemes at this point and now we've just got a metaphorical garage full of worthless shit that we have no real use for except to pawn it off on other members of our crumbling empire.
The American military must be abolished.
