Democrats Don't Fight Massive Defense Budget Increase at ALL

RE: Democrats Don't Fight Massive Defense Budget Increase at ALL
I think I've mentioned before, but the way I understand it, the Military Industrial Complex is pervasive enough that literally every congressperson has a stake in keeping it up. I think I remember a scene in Why We Fight where (and since it's been years since I've seen it, I may be misremembering it) they talk about how some military projects have to source parts from factories in so many constituencies that voting against it turn into massive layoffs, which can be a political mass suicide if the voters put two and two together.
