WASHINGTON, D.C.-Today at a House Armed Services Committee Budget Hearing on the Navy Fiscal Year 2022 Budget, Rep.

DAYTON, OHIO-Today, joined by House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) and Congressman Brad Wenstrup (OH-02), senior House Armed Services Committee member and House Intelligence Committee member, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) slammed President Biden's recently proposed defense budget as inadequate to combat against growing threats from China and our adversaries.

While Congressman Turner recognized the budget's increased funding for research that could support the work at Wright-Patt, he emphasized that Biden's top-line budget does not keep up with inflation and results in cuts, which creates concern for future development and capabilities of our Armed Services.

"President Biden's defense budget was way late and billions of dollars short. Military leaders repeatedly warned that the U.S. cannot defend against the growing aggression of adversaries like China without adequate defense funding, yet President Biden chose to short-change our Armed Forces. Meanwhile, his budget ramps up domestic spending on liberal priorities," said Turner. "President Biden's budget would further cement America's dangerous path backward - to the Obama-Biden failed foreign policy that embraces our adversaries and weakens the U.S. and our allies."
