In the country which cannot afford healthcare for its own people, Trump is spending $2 billion per day on an unnecessary war with Iran. Billion… with a B.

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders

The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

@randahl the fact that he's not in a jailcellcfor this #CrimeOfAggression is an unforgiving and unforgettable failure of the #USA!

@randahl

The problem is not that the USA cannot afford healthcare for its own people. The problem is that their priorities are not set straight. Running a healthcare facility in the US is basically like owning a money-printing machine.

This is, of course, all intentional on the part of the Epstein class: drain the commons, dismantle all services that protect the public from the powerful, and force the non-powerful to compete with each other for political favor or economic protection so they can have tiny portions of it back.

It wasn't the Epstein class that elected this lunatic and his cohort of crazies in Congress. 77 million people voted for this and another 90 million stayed home. Meanwhile Bernie is going on right wing podcasts telling people that both sides are corrupt. Ugh...

@randahl that’s not spending money. That’s transferring tax money to his friends. It’s the reason for his elections…

It's totally embarrassing.
Gonna be some major fallout...at least with Democrats...not so much MAGA until they need a medical procedure that their Medicaid wont have funds for.
Then they will just blame it on Biden and Obama

@ChrisHolladay I can already imagine campaigning Republicans talking about “the Iran mess” they inherited from Joe Biden.

@randahl (they could afford it, their arrangements are far more expensive per care than ours. They choose to do it badly and expensively. )
