President Trump finally released his 3rd budget request today, after a month's delay due to the government shutdown. And it’s a doozy.

FY 2020's #TrumpBudget goes even further than last year in bloating the already huge military budget to $750 billion.
nationalpriorities.org/blog/2019/03/1… The FY 2020 #TrumpBudget's proposed $750 billion for military spending is a 5% increase, or $34 billion, from 2019's enacted budget.

That would put 57% of the $1.3 trillion discretionary budget into the Pentagon & nuclear weapons. nationalpriorities.org/blog/2019/03/1…
