If we got to war with Iran, how are we going to pay for it? --no tv news pundit ever

[tenderfoot]

Just throwing that out there.

Thank you for your patience.

1. Mexico will.

They're easy.

2. Pay for it?

War doesn't cost anything! What are you even talking about? In fact, with the stock markets sure to surge, it is probably time for more tax cuts for the wealthy. The most serious discussion you'll see in the media is whether any tax cut proposal is really, truly large enough.

3. They'll cancel Social Security, Medicare, and public education.

I have no patience left to give.

4. Pay? Just wait until Iran lobs a few missiles...

...into the Saudi’s rich oil fields/depots forcing the price of oil to skyrocket, then you’ll see who’s going to pay for Trump’s ego shit-show.

Gasoline at $5/gallon? Maybe.

5. I had DUers this past week chastise me for pointing out the "how to pay for it" hypocrisy.

The “how to pay for it” garbage is nothing but a right wing talking point that is always applied to Democratic policies but never Republican ones.

I do not expect anyone will ever ask how 45 will pay for this war/military escalation.
