The resulting federal discretinary budgets invests 54% of the federal discretionary budget in the miltiary and nuclear weapons. 

It's easy to see what comes next: claiming pressure from the deepening debt that they themselves created, members of Congress will want massive cuts to programs that help the poor and middle class.
