Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on CBS’ Face The Nation (06/01/25) where he dropped a bombshell telling host Margaret Brennan that President Trump’s signature legislative proposal—so called “Big Beatiful Bill”, was essentially a ploy by military industrial complex advocates to increase military spending.
There have been many criticisms of the Big Beatiful Bill by congressional Democrats and some Republicans (including Sen Paul), but this is the first time I’ve heard the military industrial complex angle thrown into the mix.
It will be interesting to see how Democrats “pick up the baton” from Sen Paul, and run with this new military industrial complex angle, as they try to derail Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
