Total national security spending is projected by some experts to exceed $1.77 trillion, including debt interest and other spending. The bill includes pay raises for troops and funds for new military assets to counter China and other adversaries. Supplemental spending bills, like the $95 billion August package, further escalate military aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. Critics argue the NDAA prioritizes military spending over addressing domestic crises like homelessness and hunger.
