Description: In heated House Floor debate on the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), progressive Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sara Jacobs, & Adam Smith try to reason with Trump lackey Republican Congressmen Mike Rogers, Robert Wittman, & Jerry Carl in an attempt to scale back the bloated military-industrial complex budget. The Democrats AOC et al. argue for the original spending plan outlined by Joe Biden, but Republicans and some establishment Democrats came together to support billions of additional spending. Republicans often refuse to increase spending on social priorities like those in the Biden infrastructure bill, but year after year pour endless cash into so-called defense in collaboration with conservative Democrats.
