DONALD WHO?:
Military Experts: Trump Defense Spending Plans Would Break the Budget (PAUL MCLEARY, NOVEMBER 17, 2016, Foreign Policy)
Defense experts said the plans would cost almost $100 billion more than the Pentagon has currently budgeted for Trump's first term, an amount that would require Congress to change laws setting budget caps for the Pentagon.Still unknown, however, is where that money would come from, given Trump's other plans to slash taxes while keeping many entitlement programs intact and also embarking on a $1 trillion infrastructure improvement program.
It's 1992, defense will be cut, not increased.
