Finding savings in the defense budget that make our military stronger might seem impossible, but it’s not. Policymakers need only look to the, a study put out annually by Citizens Against Government Waste , to find unnecessary programs in the Pentagon budget that do little to nothing at all to enhance America’s defense capabilities. For example, Congress likes to hide funding for medical research in the Pentagon budget because they know it is difficult to cut defense spending.
There are other areas outside of the Pentagon budget that, if cut, would likewise reduce wasteful spending and the mismanagement of American priorities.“Instead of allocating critical funding towards important research efforts like Cancer Moonshot or the BRAIN Initiative, the NIH is using its $47.5 billion budget to fund initiatives and put forward messaging that caters to President Biden’s progressive base.
