A lot of contracts will be redone and services will remain. Air Force 1 in Trump's 1st admin as an example. These guys have gouged forever.

And the whole women and majority owned business grift is mondblowing what they can charge.

And vice-versa.

The Indians are rightfully really offended by the association.

And just like that he walks it back.. big primes continue to win

quote:

Hegseth said beginning immediately, the Pentagon will pull 8% — or roughly $50 billion — from nonlethal programs in the current budget and refocus that money on President Donald J. Trump's "America First" priorities for national defense. "That's not a cut; it's refocusing and reinvesting existing funds into building the force that protects you, the American people," Hegseth said.


Based on the budget bills being proposed, looks like military spending is going up 100 to 150B. Just some of the cuts from programs to go to other more prioritized programs now.

Big contractors are now lining up for the Iron Dome america planing.
