The U.S. defense budget: choices for the next president

Article Abstract:

The next US president will be faced with the issue of the defense budget for the coming years. Despite the federal budget surplus, there are budgetary pressures which will prevent the Pentagon from getting any increases which it will ask for. The defense budget for FY2000 is $280 billion, an amount described by Republicans as inadequate. The Pentagon is inclined to assume that the annual real defense budget will be $300 to $310 billion in constant 2000 dollars for the next decade.

The US Senate passed the $447.2 billion defense authorization bill for fiscal year 2005 on 23 June 2004. The bill would end the Survivor Benefit Plan annuity reduction that occurs at age 65, raise Army end strength by 20,000 troops by 2005, authorize the Pentagon to pay child care costs for military families who are too remote to use Pentagon-sponsored child care facilities and also reimburse service members who paid for their own equipment before heading to war.
