Where's the itemized costs so far

So basic budgeting incompetence?

Operational costs? Like getting hit with Iranian drones?

Knowing Iran's yearly military budget is roughly 10B$ 🤣

Try that line on your bank manager. "Why do you want to borrow such a huge amount?" "Oh, just to buy some general stuff."

The U.S. Department of War and Capitalist Imperialism.

Two hundred billion to kill but no money for the sick or to feed others 🤔.

🤬🤬🤬

EVERYTHING Trump DOES ends up costing 50 times MORE than he originally "claimed" it would! He DOESN'T care because it's NOT coming out of HIS pocket!

Got ya covered.....

They lie about everything else why would they tell the truth about this?

It’s what Jesus would have wanted.

Time to audit and jail

Pentagon Comptroller. That's hilarious. Can't pass an audit? Stop the funding. Why even have a comptroller?

Jury nullification for what must be done

😡😡😡

- even with hyper inflation that's too high - 50 years shooting up into the sky - fake hyper inflated money game - idiotic massive stupidity - war is death - evil is as evil does -

We can’t afford this. They’re trying to prop up the U.S. defense industry now that our allies aren’t planning to buy our products anymore.

Don’t expect the truth to come out of these lying weasels…you got to investigate & force it out of them.

So many better uses for that money

Taxes mean nothing then, nobody voted for this

What a huge waste of money!!!

SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A WAR - IT WAS TRUMPS WAR TO STAY OUT OF PRISON FOR RAPING CHILDREN. OUR MILITARY SHOULD HAVE TOLD FELON PEDO TRUMP NO!

Pissed Up Pete and The Department for War demonstrating just why capable, intelligent and experienced politicians should be in charge, from The Orange Turd downwards

Not Legal, NO MONEY

Our children's children will still be paying for this mess. I am starting to fear trump will actually bankrupt America. If any one can it will be him. History will tell tales of how the great trump depression was brought on intentionally & illegally by greed and corruption.

It’s because it was an ill conceived, illegal war done to impress his pal Bibi.

this is the 'simple interest' version. It would be MUCH much higher by now. But at least this much. iran-cost-ticker.com

The estimates were wrong because they were pulled out of someone’s ass. Probably Trump, but we need DNA testing.

He’s nothing more than a lying flimflam man. I wonder how much MAGA will need to lose before they wise up.

I wish they all would have heeded our warnings about Criminal 47. Now they find out the hard way.

The military budget has never passed an accounting standard in my lifetime, they just spend money we don’t have!

It’s difficult to calculate the financial cost of WWI to Britain but an appropriate costing would be $279bn in today’s prices. And the US has spent upwards of $200bn in 10 weeks?

Trying to fight a war with pubic funds while withholding information like it’s a private matter.

But we couldn’t get healthcare, universal childcare, environmental protections, and more….

The president will be announcing his personal contribution to the war effort in China this week to impress President Xi.

This is unacceptable! I have always willingly paid my taxes, but now I resent the waste of our money. Our interests are not being represented in Congress.

Fraud now investigate his dumbass and put him on trail

Putin arranged it.

Hegseth is really enjoying spending money isn't he?

Where the FuQQ is Doge now? $$$$$$$

Give them nothing! You got $1 trillion that we had to borrow to pay. You must learn to live within your budget. Next year you get 900 billion that’s it. Cut back somewhere. Stop buying the fucking lobster in Champagne.!

This whole Trump corrupt regime let’s the people roughly till they getting poor. Do realize this Trump had to be in jail. This dictator doesn’t care about people. He’s a narcistic criminal.

BS. No more money until they pass an audit. The Pentagon has most of what they need; they just can't find it. Enough of this Military Industrial Complex slush fund!

These creeps should be paying for the cost of their aggrogance and pay every cent back to the treasury! Starting with their leader!

Makes sense, but every year these “operational cost” estimates jump. Wonder if this is just inflation or if there’s mission creep nobody’s admitting to—seen it happen in Afghanistan and Iraq budgets too.

Honestly, Hurst is just describing reality here. Costs for repair and ops always go up in these situations—look at Ukraine aid last year, same thing. Not sure why people act like this is some conspiracy.

Makes sense, but I’ve noticed these “updated” costs almost always trend upward, never down. Hard not to wonder if the initial estimates are just systematically too low every time.

That's a lie. This administration, it seems, is stating increase cost of everything. Tells me they are pocketing the difference.

I don't know why they keep talking to these people who just lie, lie, lie.

🤬

🤔😮

4 billion? I call bullshit.

I wonder how much of that 200B ended up in Trump et al pocket through investment’s in military supply companies. Don Jr. for sure has his fingers in the honey jar.

All this for a war that we won? 🤔

nwtrcc.org/resist/war-t...

How about the $Billions Kegseth spent on steak & lobsters The amount of munitions that would have bought.🤔

Lying to us again. Who’s making all this money off the U.S. Taxpayers?

We will have spent $500+ Billion before the Iran WR is over (not including Trillion$ in economic damage) ... Just watch

Be sure to check everyone's pockets!

You can not convince me these are not the same person!

And not even winning!

The same war that was going to be over in two weeks, that one?

you'd think this administration would know there's a better word for "just general operational cost":

When the pentagon already has a massive budget, it’s hard to see how they could need more money for this war/non-war and also how they can’t afford proper food for the sailors

😡😡

We need HEALTHCARE NOT F*CKING WARFARE!

Money that could be used in our own country for human and people services and important charities also

Somehow someway,but it will take courage that's far and few.

Physically. NOW.

They may be a train wreck for the average American but they are next level at corrupting and changing the very power structure that prevents them from grabbing more power without following rules or elections.

If you believe is true “ repost “

Sue the Fuck out of the Dump family

Jesus… hate to think how much the war would be costing if we hadn’t won on March 11th.

It will be in the TRILLIONS soon just like all other Wars started by Republicans

I just want healthcare.

And here we see the Secretary of Defense pointing to one of the major problems that confronts our military today.

Relax people. President Donald is a master at not paying bills. All the companies involved in repair and replacement of equipment will never get the money. Winning !!

Thought this was being funded by wealthy friends! Just like “Mexico will pay for the wall”😩

almost there www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzgp...

Call in the negotiators from Obamas presidency to negotiate out of the war. How about that. People who know what they are doing.

😂😂

hey Forbes former budget was $500 billion they just submitted $1.5 trillion that means total was costs was $1 trillion.....fucking find real journalists with basic math skills!

Yes and counting $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$....

Sure, when he isn't taking naps.

The dumb dumb has probably never had to put gas in a car or drive himself. He said it. He doesn't care about what we can not afford.

🎯

$4-200 billion cost? And you get a closed Strait of Hormuz? That's some ROI.

Again, this war has the potential to ruin America. The #ClownCar is running the circus. 🗽

2 billion here, 4 billion there, it adds up. At least Dodge canceled that AIDS program in Africa that was costing millions. I believe that was able to pay for a few tomahawk missiles for a war

Sounds like a job for the boys from doge! If we cut any program that says health, minority, vote, poor, food-insecure, social security, or Medicaid, we could pay for the whole war and still give billionaires full tax amnesty.

Just think of how much healthcare we could have had for $200 Billion!

I'm assuming that's not counting the untold sums needed to repair the devastated military bases throughout the region? And all the hotel fees from our soldiers participating in Operation Human Shield.

Where the fuck does all that money go??

War is expensive. Just look at Russia's current state of their economy. China is holding back on Taiwan since they're seeing this also.

Does this include the cost to rebuild the USA 16 MILITARY BLDGS BOMBED BY IRAN TOO? @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

EISENHOWER warned.. we are spending 8/10 more any other nation on defense for SHIT and my bet.. we could HALF and better spend and be stronger.. while IRAN WITH LESS is kicking OUR ASS... jfc. in business whole life.. and this is just blow off of cash and corporations do the same gang!! same shit

Does anyone really think this douchebag of a tool knows how to budget a country's defense or a war???

I've seen estimates that the cost could end up being 1 trillion dollars!

Hegseth's numbers are pure BS. Trump has depleted US arsenal. Back of the napkin estimate 5,000 missiles have been launched in Iran War. that's 1 to 2 million dollars per missile. That's just missile costs, throw in personnel, logistical support ... plus US pays for Israel's munitions.

This is all so much! And for what? We will end up with a deal that pales next to the one that Obama orchestrated years ago. Money that could’ve been spent on helping Americans. Shameful.

NONE OF MY TAX MONEY FOR WAR OR ICE OR BALLROOM

Jesus Effing Christ is turning in his grave ! An astonishing amount for a war created by their own Egos of we can do No you carnt ! Americans are suffering through narcissist egos that should be in glass jars with lids screwed tightly on with a bit of glue Just incase 😉

MAGA, if you're listening....

This is what unfettered incompetence looks like

Cut them OFF. We don't serve an alcoholic more booze when he's already drunk & Kegsbreath has BEEN drunk for years! No more $!

those general operating costs are extra lobster kobe steaks and the best booze for Keggo

Unquestionably...yes ☹️

Trump is bankrupting America

Let me paraphrase Nancy Reagan: Just Say Fuck No!

Your tax dollars at work !
