Less government meddling means faster upgrades and better gear for our troops. It’s called common sense, Congress.

If we slap fewer rules on defense depots, are we streamlining security or handing a blank check to corporate contractors? Transparency isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Maybe this bill’s just about smarter budgeting, but if we sacrifice transparency for speed, it’s a slippery slope. Let’s watch that closely.

Changing capital rules shouldn’t be a loophole for slashing community jobs and safety standards. Defense spending needs checks, not just big checks.

If you want America safe, you stop punting with outdated rules and start trusting the military to spend where it counts.

Fine-tuning investment rules might be a smart way to keep our defense agile—if it doesn’t shortchange oversight. Balance is the name of this game.

Cutting red tape for defense means potentially more money for boots on the ground, not boardrooms. Let’s prioritize people over profits, not the other way around.

Adjust the capital rules, sure—but only if it actually saves taxpayer dollars and boosts efficiency, not just corporate bottom lines.

Cut the red tape, let the depots invest — stronger defense means fewer bureaucrats standing in the way of readiness.
