Should congress approve a $200b supplemental for the war, as requested? (Poll)

[Montrovant]

What is the almost $900 billion the country already spends per year on the military going to, that after a few weeks of a war we decided to pursue, we need that much more funding?

 

[Kruska]

Our forces are engaged. They are putting their butts on the lune. So OF COURSE they must be funded.

So you are saying that TACO & Brylcreem Whiskey Pete forgot to fund the US forces - interesting!

 

[Kruska]

We could save that much by going after Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.

In particular the incredible amount of waste in defending NATO countries who won't defend themselves, much less come to our aid.

Which NATO countries has the USA ever defended? - you living in some parallel universe?

There were only NATO members that helped to USA to wage war on Somalia, Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, etc.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

My opinion is informed enough, we simply can't afford a $200b supplemental nor a $1.5T 2027 defense budget.

No, because you do not have details.

Probably to buy newer better bombs and other equipment. Stuff probably has shelf life? May as well use it now rather than scrap $200B. Terrorist are a good use of old stock.

It would have been budgeted for replacement if it had such a shelf life.

Wow - so Israel is going to pay US$ billions back to the USA - great!!

Now, now, Citizen.

No provoking the MAGAts.

They'll say you're gay or something.

The alternate American universe.

It's killing you, especially as the bond market is so weak. But you can't bear to not overextend even as your debt is being sold off and/or issued at higher rates.
