Pentagon’s Black Budget Tops $56 Billion

E-mail Print PDF

The Defense Department just released its king-sized, $708 billion budget for the next fiscal year. Much of the proposed spending is fairly detailed — noting exactly how many helicopters the Pentagon plans to buy and how many troops it plans on playing. But about $56 billion goes simply to “classified programs,” or to projects known only by their code names, like “Chalk Eagle” and “Link Plumeria.” That’s the Pentagon’s black budget.

TVNL Comment: Why is there a black budget at all? How is that constitutional? It is clearly used for illegal and unconstitutional operations. How do we permit this?
