Well that's what Trump said, right? We can't have universal child care, Medicare, or Medicaid because we have to pay for war.
It is wealth transfer.
I expect costs at least twice as much
Most of this is not money spent already, but what a small group of wealthy will receive over the next decade. And there will be more costs to increase that thievery.
The bottom 99% will see a trickle of that money only
So. A "skirmish" cost $36 billion per month. Good thing it wasn't a "war"!
Yet another stimulus for the rich.
Cost a hell of a lot more if one figures in the DC Signal chats and the insider trading around the various war announcements. That's a tax on the poor too.
