In the first two weeks of its war on Iran, the US spent an estimated $2.1 billion a day. It’s no wonder Donald Trump is saying that the cost of war means the federal government can’t afford to spend money to help Americans meet their basic needs.

I think people generally understand how very expensive it is.
$2.1B/day is actually more expensive than I would’ve guessed. Holy…
Depends on who you ask. I’d say about a third of the US population doesn’t even think about it.
What’s less clear is which of these expenses are for having such a big military in the first place, and what it costs on top to shoot all those missiles.
