U.S. House passes $662 billion defense bill​

The House passed a massive $662 billion defense bill Wednesday night after last-minute changes placated the White House and ensured President Obama's ability to prosecute terrorist suspects in the civilian justice system.

The vote was 283-136 and reflected the strong support for annual legislation that authorizes money for the men and women of the military as well as weapons systems and the millions of jobs they generate in lawmakers' districts.

Our Government is oblivious to the word debt. I bet we could have brought the troops back last Christmas. Seems like Obama waited til now since it's time to make a push for re-election. Sad how corrupt our country is.
