New Unified Security Budget Now Available
Travis | Nov 19, 2009 |
0 The Obama administration promised “a sweeping shift of priorities and resources in the national security arena.” The sixth annual Report of the Task Force on a Unified Security Budget for the United States, FY 2010 finds that the promise of resource shifting has not yet been kept.
From the press release:
The needle tracking the overall balance of spending on offense (military forces), defense (homeland security), and prevention (non-military foreign engagement) stayed stubbornly in place. In the FY 2010 request, like the one before it, 87 percent of the nation’s security resources were allocated to the tools of military force. This is true even excluding the appropriations for wars the country is currently fighting.
CACNP participates each year in the task force, which is co-chaired by Miriam Pemberton and Larry Korb. Kingston and I both did a little bean counting.
The report has too much valuable material to cover in a single blog post, so I’ll just share my favorite chart (which I believe is new to this year’s version):
Security Matters, Acquisition, Defense Spending (all tags)
