Spending on intelligence has soared under President Donald Trump, reports AFP.
Spending on civilian and military intelligence jumped by 11.6 percent to $81.5 billion in fiscal 2018, which ended on September 30, according to the Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Spending for the National Intelligence Program, which spans some 16 agencies including the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, some defense operations and reconnaissance from space, rose to $59.4 billion from $54.6 billion in fiscal 2017.
The Military Intelligence Budget came in at $22.1 billion, up from $18.4 billion in fiscal 2017.
Trump is doing nothing but sucking many, many small government advocates into thinking he is one of them and sucking the air out of the anti-big government movement.
