Arrr, in December, President Biden did sign the annual defense bill into law, but the scurvy dogs in Congress have yet to cough up the gold the DOD needs to make it happen. Methinks they be dragging their feet like landlubbers!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, the scurvy dogs in Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran be keepin' a weather eye on Washington. Arrr! They be waitin' to see if our democratic system can weather the storm and fund our hearty military. In December, Cap'n Biden signed the annual defense bill into law, givin' the Defense Department over $840 billion to defend our fair nation. But the scallywags in Congress haven't passed the funds needed to set that law in motion. Instead, our military be limpin' along on stopgap measures, while our enemies be sharpenin' their cutlasses and makin' ready for battle. Failure to fund the Defense Department proper-like could spell disaster for America's security, economy, and democracy. The bilge rats in the People's Republic of China, Russia, and Iran be waitin' with glee to see us flounder. It's high time for Congress to act, for the clock be ticking, and the whole world be watchin'. History will tell our tale, whether it be one of triumph or despair.
