Bush's 2009 Budget & Military Contractors

Think Progress has an entry on budget and what it will mean for the Contractors.

Last week, President Bush submitted his $515.4 billion defense spending budget for FY ‘09. Contained within that budget is a windfall for defense contractors — “$104.2 billion for weapons procurement and nearly $80 billion for research and development.” This budget is 7.5 percent higher than the current year’s.
