The Hill | Defense budget brawl looms after pandemic
Defense budget cuts are looming as the coronavirus pandemic places pressure on the federal budget across various agencies.
The Pentagon had already been expecting relatively flat budgets for the next few years due to economic constraints caused by the widening deficits in the country.
But with the pandemic, the deficit is projected to explode after Congress passed trillions of dollars in coronavirus relief packages, with more aid bills expected. Defense budget analysts are predicting that will mean cuts to defense spending down the line. |
