As far as I know and can recall, the USA has not had a problem with projecting the capacity to conduct naval warfare pretty much anywhere it pleases in navigable waters. Why on Earth do we need to increase our fleet at all, much less to this degree?
We can't afford to subsidize health services for the needy, yet we have plenty of money to piss away on this shit.
I don't expect a lot of conservative resistance to this sort of spending.
You know how you know when this administration's policy positions are fucked in the head? When they seek to gut our capacity to conduct diplomacy (Department of State) and increase our capacity for warfare.
This is a global issue. Get a bunch of testosterone men in power, they pound their chests, and the rich, friend and foe masturbate over the prospects of the price of everything going up. There are poor people all over the world and in industrialized nations friend and foe, there are investors in the stock market always looking to make a buck off the miseof others.
