A white graphic with black text reading, 'Trump's Iran War has already cost taxpayer $25 billion — so far. What he could have funded instead:

—A year of Medicaid for 3.1M Americans
—A school year of free lunch for 29.6M kids
—Affordable housing for 3.1M Americans
—A year of free child care for 1.8M kids
—Community college tuition for a two-year associate degree for 2.9M Americans.

Estimated likely cost of war as of March 26, 2026/Source: Center for American Progress."
'$25 billion' is highlighted in red.

“No amount of lip service from Vance will make up for the fact that Republicans have made life less affordable for working families, and Michiganders will remember their betrayal come November.” Chair @CurtisHertelJr.bsky.social’s statement on JD Vance’s upcoming visit to Michigan:

MDP Statement on JD Vance’s Trip to Michigan as Costs Skyrocket Across the State

LANSING — In response to JD Vance’s planned visit to Michigan later this week, Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel released the following statement:

“JD Vance and Michigan Republicans up and down the ballot have been cheerleading Donald Trump’s disastrous agenda that’s raised prices, gutted health care, destroyed manufacturing jobs, and now plunged us into a reckless foreign war that’s putting American lives at risk.

“While Vance tries to spin this administration’s failures, Michiganders have been feeling the effects of the Trump-Vance agenda every day when they’re paying more at the grocery store and the gas pump. No amount of lip service from Vance will make up for the fact that Republicans have made life less affordable for working families, and Michiganders will remember their betrayal come November.”
