House passes budget-busting Defense bill

This same type of thing is going on with the Authorizations in the other departments as well.  FY 2018 shaping up nicely.

Seems like the authorization people and appropriation people are finally getting fed up with the moron budget people.

Always better to watch what people do vs. what they say.

The bill would exceed the president's $603 billion defense budget request. But it also would blow past the $549 billion cap on defense spending set under the 2011 Budget Control Act by about $72 billion.

While everyone was talking about Russia and OJ, this was going on. House passes budget-busting defense policy bill https://t.co/tbY73TDjkP
