      They dont count the backdoor costs of literally everything you buy in America going up 50% in price because of the war. And it wont go back down again when it ends. Same as always. Not their problem.

        Not to mention a family of 4, which would amount to $4000, which might be a 10% increase in income, not including the 30% that’s already been taxed out of that $300b.

      Yeah, I don’t want $1000 coming out of my pocket for Trumps bullshit. I’d be fine with it going to people in need.
