Political Stances on Military Spending Rights
Politicians Who Support Military Spending Rights
Chris Christie
“When you spend 5% of your annual Pentagon budget supporting Ukraine, and theyve degraded 50% of the Russian military hardware, thats a pretty good investment.”
Donald Trump
“My Administration has embarked on a colossal rebuilding of the American armed forces, a record like no other. After years of devastating budget cuts and a military that was totally depleted from these endless wars, we have invested over 2 trillion trillion; thats with a T dollars in the most powerful fighting force, by far, on the planet Earth. We are building new ships, bombers, jet fighters, and helicopters by the hundreds; new tanks, military satellites, rockets, and missiles; even a hypersonic missile that goes 17 times faster than the fastest missile currently available in the world and can hit a target 1,000 miles away within 14 inches from center point.”
J.D. Vance
“No direct quote”
Joe Biden
“If the government shuts down, that means members of our U.S. military are going to be on duty, unpaid. Theres no reason for us to be in this position. Just a few months ago we reached a bipartisan budget agreement on spending. We shook hands. Now, theyre reneging on the deal.”
Marianne Williamson
“Legalizing cannabis is taking on added urgency now, not only because of people unjustly incarcerated but also for medicinal and environmental reasons. Time to scrap what should never have been a prohibition in the first place. @POTUS”
Nikki Haley
“This is a CRISIS. This year, the U.S. will officially spend more on our debts interest than on national defense. We need an accountant in the White House NOW.”
Ron DeSantis
“… We’re recommending more than 100 million dollars to support our National Guard to ensure they have the means necessary to carry out their mission.”
Vivek Ramaswamy
“My foreign policy focuses on putting America *First.* I will lead America away from neoconservatism and liberal internationalism and toward defense spending that actually *defends* the homeland. No more #UncleSucker. Move to a Modern Monroe Doctrine: guard our hemisphere to stave off challenges from great powers such as China and Russia or non-state actors such as terrorists and Cartels.”
