This Week in the World: Reconsidering the Bill for War

This week, the House of Representatives narrowly passed, by a vote of 216-212, its annual military policy bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This bill would authorize an astounding $1.15 trillion in Pentagon spending. Most years, this bill moves forward with strong bipartisan majorities, so this level of debate is a real win.

Lawmakers across partisan divides are reconsidering if they should authorize a massive bill for weapons and war.
