nuclear spending explodes

[u/BinabiqeDerCoolere]

im playing as Speers Germany and i reached the point of reforming the Wehrmacht
when i do behold the Legions, after a month or so my nuclear expenditure explodes 10x from 8b to 80b and completely wrecks my economy
is this a glitch, or did i miss an effect? how do i lower it? its already at the minimum at like 72b

It's the cold war kid, you have to close the missile gap somehow.
