Thanks to Trump’s Iran war, the Pentagon is almost broke. The U.S. military running out of money is as improbable as losing money when you run a casino; it just should not be possible. But it’s happening. Congress funds the Defense Department at increasingly higher levels every year, reaching nearly a trillion dollars in 2025. It is the agency with the largest discretionary spending by far; nothing really comes close. (MS NOW)
BUT… Pistol Pete has no time to worry about Trump’s costly war, which at the moment has no end in sight, because this insecure heterosexual male is more concerned about just how manly his toy soldiers will look and feel to the outside world. Because I assume if they are mucho macho then by osmosis, insecure Pete will be a real He-Man!
The U.S. military's plan to screen hundreds of thousands of troops for low testosterone each year is described as wasteful and costly, with no clear medical benefit for most service members. (celinegounder.com)
Trump has no concerns about spending taxpayer money. He most likely pays a very low percentage of his earnings into the economy, so it ain’t his cash being spent. Trump has too many taxpayer-funded grifting jobs to tend to worry about how things will get paid. He has redone the Lincoln reflecting pool three times; he has bulldozed the East Wing; he is still adamant about his Ballroom; he spent tons of cash on the Great State Fair; built an arena on the White House lawn; and then had to spend even more money on refurbishing that lawn. The drawings and God only knows the fee for planning his Great Arch are underway, and somehow the Qatari bribe (the new Air Force One) needed plenty of refinements and security, which of course is on the taxpayers' tab.
And now the USA, supposedly the greatest military force in the world, is running out of money, because no one, let me clear NO ONE, within the Trump Reich had the balls or backbone to inform both Trump and his homoerotic obsessed Secretary of War, Petey Hegseth, that without a plan, without a real mission statement, without any credible military expert to lead the way in or out of Iran, the Trump/Iran War is and will be nothing but a money pit!
But hey for Trump, it’s just chump change, and we the people are the chumps!
