Feeling the pinch from the Iran War's $29 billion price tag? How about the $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request for 2027? Not yet? Now, add a revised $1.2 trillion cost for Trump's biggest boondoggle yet - his vanity Golden Dome missile shield. We just want decent, affordable healthcare, please!!!
npr.org
Trump's proposed 'Golden Dome' estimated to cost $1.2 trillion
A Congressional Budget Office analysis suggests the cost of the missile defense program could be $1.2 trillion over the next 20 years, a far heftier sum than the initial $175 billion price tag.

Now into the second week of war with Iran, most Americans continue to oppose this war. By a 56%-44% margin, respondents said they oppose the military action. Just 36% approve of Trump's handling of Iran, and a majority–55%–thinks Iran either represents just a minor threat or none at all to the US.
