Defense is spending 850 billion this year

https://breakingdefense.com/2025/04/hasc-approves-150b-defense-increase-as-gop-shuts-down-amendments-to-curb-hegseth-doge/

One house committee agreed to #150 billion in increases

I cannot find the exact number that was in the big House budget, but above aligns what was asked by Trump (1 trillion dollars).


that is more than 1.5%
