More defense funding
The debt package set a funding level for national defense programs that is one of the least controversial items in a bitter spending fight. But there’s still a debate to settle.
That debt agreement also set a ceiling of $886 billion for national defense programs, a 3.2 percent increase in line with Biden’s budget request for the fiscal year that began on Oct. 1. Lawmakers used that total to write their compromise annual defense policy legislation, known as NDAA, which passed both the Senate and the House with bipartisan support.
