The Senate just passed a $768 billion defense budget. Much of that cash will get funneled to military contractors. Meanwhile, at least 15 lawmakers who shape defense policy have investments in military contractors. How is this okay?

To review, the Senate shelved the Build Back Better Act and then proceeded to pass a Pentagon budget that costs 4.5x as much. All in the same week

The Senate just passed a 7.68 Trillion dollar pentagon budget over 10 years should be the framing.
