The Pentagon Needs a Real Budget, Not Stop-Gap Solutions, says top DoD official
MAY 9TH, 2023 BY DAVID ARIOSTO | 0 COMMENTS

CIPHER BRIEF REPORTING — With President Joe Biden and top Republican lawmakers sitting down together this week in the hopes of averting an historic government default, a top Pentagon official said a principal concern is that Congress will not pass a budget, but instead opt for a continuing resolution.   

“I can’t get up in front of any group and not talk about continuing resolutions and how harmful they are to the department,” U.S. Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall said Tuesday in front of an audience at the Ash Carter Exchange in Washington D.C. “Now, [we’re] going into a world in which we’re going to have to wait for the Congress to act before we can move forward in a lot of these programs.”

While the Pentagon aims to procure and develop advanced aircraft, Kendall said the department’s focus also requires reliable longer-term budgetary planning, as opposed to stop-gap measures, amidst efforts to prepare for a bevy of security risks, including mounting Chinese cyber and space-related threats.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It will never happen as long as there is a congress infested with politicians who care more about their party, personal agendas, and selling their souls to lobbyists than they care about America - which means it isn't going to happen. **nononono*
