House unveils $674B defense spending bill for 2019
(Worthy News) – The House Appropriations Committee unveiled a $674.6 billion defense spending bill Wednesday.
While the committee scheduled a markup session for Thursday and debate with the Senate’s version of the budget will likely take months, the House version provides $605 billion in base discretionary funding. That figure is less than President Donald Trump’s administration requested, but more than the 2018 level.
The proposed funding would pay for more than 15,000 additional troops and pay raises for those already in military service — as well as 93 F-35 Lightning II and two dozen F/A-18 E/F fighter jets. The House version also calls for a dozen new Navy ships. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
