Aviation Week publishes “Can The Pentagon Spend More Smartly?”, a commentary by Steve Grundman that explains his outlook for defense spending.

Writing in Aviation Week & Space Technology, Steve Grundman spells out his expectations for the trend of US defense spending under a Democratic government in 2021. Affirming what he regards as a bipartisan commitment to sustaining the current level of defense spending, Grundman concludes that “[i]f there’s hand-wringing worth doing about politics and defense spending, it would be better put toward building calluses against the hard work of increasing the productivity of defense dollars than polishing old chestnuts about how Democrats are soft on defense.”
