Indeed - under right-wing Presidents MOSTLY. Apparently the runaway "budget" is great for making sure they pacify their base. But among the biggest deficit spenders starting with Reagan were on the right. The military budget is whacko. And given how poorly the NATO proxy war in Ukraine has gone - all the trillions spent on the US military looks like it was more a money laundering scheme for the Big Defense Contractors - from Boeing to Lockheed Martin to Raytheon - they made a shit ton of money off of military hardware that might last a week in a real war. Outside of nuclear weapons - the Russians would wipe the floor with any American force that attempted to fight it - the technology and now out-of-date military doctrines would make American forces easy game. Why? Because it was all about the money and profits. It was never actually about war or "defense".
For Republicans - the budget was just as much a propaganda tool as Wokeness has been for the Democrats. But when it comes to the real donor important issues regarding MONEY - both parties are two cheeks of the same backside.
