Why the Pentagon is in a hurry to spend $152 billion

In this episode of The Pentagon Buzz, Pentagon reporter Ashley Roque explains that despite technically having multiple years to spend $152 billion in 2025 reconciliation money, if it’s not spent by the end of the fiscal year, some of the unspent funds will be hit with an 8.3 percent cut. As of late April, only $26 billion of these funds had been placed on contract, leaving $126 billion to be spent by Sept. 30.
