Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) office ripped the White House on Monday over defense spending, arguing President Obama is putting domestic "pet projects" ahead of the Pentagon if he vetoes a defense policy bill.
"During the Obama years, military readiness has been put on the back burner," Ryan's office said in the statement.
It predicted Obama would veto the defense bill, arguing that would put the president's "domestic pet projects above our troops."
