How the hell do we have $2 TRILLION for new war equipment and machines, but we don't have a dime for the homeless or health care? Oh wait, there's no money to be made there. Carry on.

But considering the amount of followers that he has, and a large portion of those are bot accounts, that will be no easy task!

It was deficit spending.
So dont worry, we wont have to pay it back. Our grandchildren will (if they survive climate change).

(10,749 posts)4. He's lying
Maybe that figure is the defense budget for the past three years. But all new equipment? Not true. Shocking, I know. But hes lying.
Although I dont think its lying or bs. Its delusions.
