By the time the Senate passed Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan in August, Biden had negotiated away three-quarters of its original value to appease Republicans. This is especially worrying amid reports that Biden is now considering cutting down the larger, $3.5 trillion social spending bill to placate holdouts among conservative Democrats.

However, Biden’s military budget is doing just fine.

In stark contrast to the reconciliation and infrastructure bills, Congress authorized more funds to the Pentagon’s fiscal year 2022 budget than Biden originally asked for. Biden initially requested nearly $12 billion more than Trump’s last military budget for fiscal year 2022. The House and Senate armed services committees added almost $25 billion on top of that, bringing the top-line figure to $778 billion. While the Senate version has yet to come to a vote, the House passed a bill last month authorizing that amount by a 316-113 margin.
