The US House has passed a $725 billion military budget with no debate, the largest single military spending bill in world history.

The US defense budget is now nearly equal to the military spending of all other nations combined. The new budget allocates more on American military spending than was spent by the US during World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, or the Cold War Reagan era military buildup. US military expenditures have risen by at about 119%.

The budget highlights both spending increases put in place under former US president George W. Bush and current President Barack Obama.
