•    "The National Taxpayers Union urges Representatives to vote NO on H.R. 3838 (the FY2026 NDAA), arguing the $892 billion authorization worsens record debt and persistent trillion-dollar deficits. NTU says Congress should pursue discretionary spending cuts across defense and non-defense programs rather than approving large, long-term increases (it calls out the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s $156 billion 10-year boost). The group recommends refocusing funds away from what it views as wasteful projects (e.g., A-10, F-35, Constellation frigates), strengthening watchdog oversight of waste/fraud/abuse, and rejecting the bill unless spending levels and program directions are substantially changed."

•    "It’s clear to us that the SPEED Act will take us back 60 years, to a time when companies blatantly took advantage of the federal government. They will once again be able to make ‘excessive profits and disguise them as overhead costs or hide them in other ways in the absence of a set of uniform Cost Accounting Standards,’ which will lead to new $436 hammers and $10,000 toilet seat covers. Simply stated, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are about protecting investors from being defrauded when they are considering the value of a company; Cost Accounting Standards are about protecting the government and taxpayers when they are considering the value of a contract."
