What other nation has a "War Money" line in it's public national budget? America - $96 Billion.
Updated 7:03 p.m. | The Senate Budget Committee’s agreed to boost funding in the budget plan for defense for the next fiscal year by $38 billion.
The committee backed an amendment offered by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. to bring the Senate plan in line with the expected eventual funding level in the House budget blueprint for Overseas Contingency Operations, the so-called OCO account.
Graham earlier in the day predicted the amendment would allow the budget resolution to get the votes necessary to advance through the Senate itself.
The adoption of the amendment came ahead of advancement of the budget by the committee, a move that sets up floor consideration next week. The Senate debate will begin on Monday.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., joined Graham in offering the amendment, which won broad GOP support despite some consternation.
