“Trump has proposed a massive $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal year 2027, significantly increasing military spending compared to previous years [44-percent increase from the 2026 enacted level.] The plan includes pay raises for troops, funding for a missile defense system known as the “Golden Dome,” and replenishment of critical munitions amid ongoing conflict. At the same time, the proposal reduces non-defense spending by 10%, cutting approximately $73 billion from domestic programs. This shift reflects a strong prioritization of military readiness over domestic investment during a period of war.”
