Trump's 2027 budget could give the Pentagon the most massive boost in decades

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : About two-thirds of the nation's estimated $7 trillion in annual spending covers the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs, as well as Social Security income, which are essentially growing -- along with an aging population -- on autopilot.
48% : "It's not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare -- all these individual things," he said.
45% : Even before the U.S.-led war against Iran, the Republican president had indicated he wanted to bolster defense spending to modernize the military for 21st-century threats.
40% : The GOP's big tax breaks bill that Trump signed into law last year boosted his priorities beyond the budget process -- with at least $150 billion for the Pentagon over the next several years, and $170 billion for Trump's immigration and deportation operations at the Department of Homeland Security.
35% : The massive document typically highlights an administration's priorities, but Congress, which handles federal spending issues, is free to reject it and often does.
