Trump says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and day care: 'We’re fighting wars'

💸 THE COST MATH:

One THAAD interceptor: $12.8M.
One Patriot missile: $5M.
One Iranian Shahed drone: $20,000.

Iran fires 800 drones. We shoot them down.

We spent $4B defending against $16M.

The British couldn't win that math either.

The Iran War's cost is staggering: $5.3B in munitions in 6 days. The Iraq/Afghanistan wars cost $8 TRILLION. This new conflict is burning $900M/day. The Strait of Hormuz closure could crash global GDP by 2-4%. There HAS to be a better way. #IranWar #CostOfWar

In 16 weeks this is where I am at in this game in terms of money. C-Ram bullets cost $27 per bullet on the low end. It is able to fire 75 rounds per second or $2,075 per second. I would lose all this in under 8 seconds of it being fired. #costofwar.
