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?

We were burning over ten billy a month during the Iraq War.

I have no sympathy for Americans caring about the tax payer cost while ignoring their complicity in imperialist wars (yes, it is plural). If you are not protesting as hard the annexation and extraction of Venezuela’s oil, the embargo of Cuba (shit, I am getting tired of listing crimes against humanity), you are not protesting war, you are protesting losing and you should not expect anyone in the world to feel sorry for you.

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.

Wasn’t it reported higher than that for the first month alone ?

“Every gun that is made…”

I bet the decimal is at least one place to the right.

So better be prepared to find some sponsors. Because why should the taxpayer finance Trumps follies?

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.

America is being run by dangerous clowns 😬

Hegseth has alcohol derangement syndrome.

Make Israel pay for the war they wanted America to fight

How much money have Netanjahu and Trump contributed to pay for their personal folly?
