Cost of war

The cost of the war of choice ( or Epstein diversion war) is 1 billion a day plus other expenses such as repositioning troops. Trump today has asked the USA for another $500 billion to support his war and produce more weapons.

And yet our current  government says we can’t afford Medicare, science and health research, USIA, food and housing assistance,  , fully staffed government agencies and infrastructure repairs! ( Are you aware that the IRS is purposely small so that wealthy Americans have only  a 4 % chance of an audit… an invitation for trumps billionaires to cheat! ).

With no proof of imminent threat from Iran, the “peace president” has  avoided diplomacy, and thrust our country and the world into economic disaster, imminent danger, and worst of all Loss of lives( remember Trump calling soldiers losers  and suckers.?) It won’t be the children of  Trump or other billionaire’s children who will fight this war, it will be the kids of normal hard working   Americans, the very ones Trump promised to protect. “People will die” he nonchalantly said today.

No wonder  Trumps approval is underwater. I don’t understand after Jan 6 th how anyone could not have  seen the danger of this unhinged man. But we’re tragically  seeing  it now.
