The new Republican House majority would like to change the priorities in military spending, with so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives soon on the chopping block.
In President Joe Biden's most recent defense budget, he requested roughly $150 million for diversity and inclusion programs, according to Thomas Spoehr, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for National Defense."So, we just did a little exercise like this, and I could find maybe $100-$150 million dollars in the [defense] budget that I could take it and be relatively confident that these are associated with woke programs.
“We’re going to cut money that’s being spent on wokeism. We’re going to cut legacy programs. We’re going to cut a lot of waste," Rogers told the Hill last week. "There's at least three different factions" within the GOP, Spoehr added."There's fiscal hawks, there's defense hawks, and there's social/cultural hawks. Sometimes, you find that those characteristics are the same people, and sometimes not. So, it's kind of what they value, and so, to be successful, the Republicans will attempt to fashion a program that appeals to all three of those types of folk.
