Inflation will kill any plus up of the budget. Congress will pass a bigger budget, inflation will eat into it, the services will fight over a shrinking pie and national security hawks just made European defense primary while China sits back and chills. We're led by idiots.

Led by idiots on the economy, foreign policy and national security.
