The Congressional EMP Commission has been reinstated following the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act. Dr. Vincent Pry warns that a single high-altitude nuclear detonation could collapse the U.S. power grid for a year, potentially killing 90% of the population. The hosts suggest that the commission and the U.S. Cyber Command are fronts for the NSA to secure more government funding through fear-mongering.

### Payroll Tax Cut Legislation, Congressional Spending Priorities

- **Episode:** [367: Hats of State](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/367-hats-of-state.md)
- **Published:** 2011-12-22
- **Time:** 7:16–12:24
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/367-hats-of-state/chapter/payroll-tax-cut-legislation-congressional-spending-priorities.md

U.S. lawmakers debated the extension of a payroll tax provision, with disagreements centering on funding mechanisms such as increased Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fees or federal wage freezes. Critics argue that the $30 billion required for a two-month extension could be easily sourced by reducing military expenditures, such as canceling a single submarine project. President Barack Obama's highly publicized $40 purchase at Best Buy is dismissed as a staged "reality show" event intended to project relatability.

### National Defense Authorization Act and Military Base Spending

- **Time:** 3:30–7:48

The discussion shifts to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), specifically House Version 1540 and Senate Version 1867. Analysis of the $660 billion budget reveals that approximately $80 billion is allocated to military bases in Germany, despite that country's dominant economic position in the EU. Additionally, significant funding is directed toward naval operations and submarine bases in Washington State.
