Defense One: Budget Deal Is A Big Win for Pentagon
Even though it's only a two-year agreement, the budget deal passed by Congress and the White House will get the Pentagon past the worst of the spending caps.
The Pentagon has weathered the worst of the defense spending caps that military leaders have called a thorn in their side since 2013.
The bipartisan budget deal struck by Congress — the Senate passed the measure early Friday morning, matching the House's action earlier this week — gives the Defense Department big-time relief immediately, raising the 2016 spending cap by $33 billion and the 2017 cap by $23 billion. That allows the Pentagon to get a total of $607 billion in 2016 and $610 billion in 2017, according to budget experts and investment analysts.
"This is significant. This is a turnaround for defense," said Todd Harrison, a budget analyst with the Center for Strategic and International studies. "This would mark the end of the drawdown."
WNU Editor: I am still trying to digest the $600 billion budget number. But here is an easy prediction .... within a month or two they (i.e. the Pentagon) will start raising worries and concerns that they need more.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
