Remember this number when they say they can’t afford any social programs …
They can’t afford any social program after all the money they spend on this war.
Imagine how many children could be lifted out of poverty. How many bridges and roads could be repaired. But no, that’s for suckers, right?
It is in a country that votes 99% every election for the same two warmongering parties.
We were burning over ten billy a month during the Iraq War.
I don’t understand why people think this is a good use of their tax money. Everyone complains about state taxes when it is much less and pays for everything you see and use. Then you have federal taxes which are a massive black hole.
FWIW we’ve been seeing that amount be advertised for months. So either people talking about the fact that “the war having cost $40bn so far” were wrong months ago, or this number is under-evaluated for political reasons. Or both.
“Every gun that is made…”
Wasn’t it reported higher than that for the first month alone ?
Everyone is focusing on the taxpayer cost, which is of course exorbitant. But try instead thinking about how many private jets the weapon manufacturers and politicians in their pocket are getting out of it.
Or, how many innocent children died for that.
And yet Hegseth still has his job. I want my money back.
Australia’s total NBN build out cost ~US$36 billion (AU$51 billion) for comparison. That’s including rolling parts of it out twice since we half-arsed some of it the first time.
I bet the decimal is at least one place to the right.
everything else in that country is being forcibly moved to the right
So better be prepared to find some sponsors. Because why should the taxpayer finance Trumps follies?
America is being run by dangerous clowns 😬
Hegseth has alcohol derangement syndrome.
How much money have Netanjahu and Trump contributed to pay for their personal folly?
