I’ll explain how it works and why I don’t vote for it.
The Defense Industrial Base is tax payer funded gov contracts with American companies to build weapons, ammunition, and military equipment - made in America with American jobs.
The pitch they give members of Congress and Senators is that we MUST vote for the annual defense budget and other programs in order to fund America’s military and defense of the United States of America.
AND they always add how important these gov contracts are with American companies because they create jobs and continued funding protects these jobs.
They will also gladly show each of us a map of where these companies are, and number of jobs, in each of our districts or states, and to increase pressure on us they will throw in where military bases are in our districts.
This is implied understanding of how many votes that we could lose if we don’t vote YES to continue the funding for the defense contracts in our district and the number of military votes we could lose as well if we vote NO to military funding.
Of course add in the shaming of “you don’t support the military?!”
Many appropriation bills contain gov contracts with the defense industrial base which currently is an economic driver created by a business model that is built on murder, war, and destruction in foreign countries around the world.
The reason why I adamantly oppose this business model is because of the way it works.
They give away the older weapons, ammunition, and military equipment to countries the U.S. supports in the name of defending democracy and beating the current bad guy, in order to create the need to sign new defense contracts to build new weapons, ammunition, and military equipment to replenish the old.
Of course, giving away old weapons and equipment to countries like Ukraine comes with U.S. “advisers” on how to use these deadly gifts against their enemies, which also requires more funding.
This is all in the name of “responsibility.”
This bloody business model creates an annual defense budget of over $850 billion per year, but that’s just the starter package.
Funding foreign wars like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, and all the rest actually have cost the American people TRILLIONS of their hard earned tax dollars that comes with the “reasons” of creating American jobs and replenishing America’s military and to support the Military Industrial Economic Base.
When you combine the reality of American tax payers enslaved in debt by paying for murder and war in foreign lands that don’t affect us with stupid decisions by politicians and unelected bureaucrats that led us to $36 trillion in debt which has driven life to be unaffordable, open border policies that have empowered the international criminal cartels trafficking drugs, people, and killing Americans, crumbling infrastructure, dying prosperity and hope for young Americans, and the dumbing down of our youth through failing education and immoral cultural norms, this is why I adamantly OPPOSE and will FIGHT against this evil insanity.
You see when our self righteous government claims to defend freedom and democracy around the world, by regime change with its almighty military forces and strength, boasting about the taxpayer funded Military Industrial Economic Base, while virtually kicking the hard working American people in the gut every damn day making them pay for it all, while simultaneously not defending our own border, the people hate the government and it’s pathetic little shills in the media.
It’s time to start a new era of economic prosperity for Americans that isn’t built on a never ending pile of foreign dead bodies.

But somehow she misses on "The War on Drugs", and if/when the MIC can't make money abroad, they will certainly make it at home.
