The Trillion Dollar Defense Threshold
Geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding China and ongoing conflicts, have generated bipartisan political momentum for significant increases in US defense spending (simulated late 2025 context). Given the Pentagon's internal push for budgets exceeding $1 trillion by 2028 to modernize and strengthen global presence, the overwhelming 'Yes' vote reflects the political inevitability of this spending level, driven by national security consensus.
