Trump regime wants $1.5 trillion per year for its department of war. That's $1,500 billion, i.e. $11,000 per household.

Trump seeks massive $1.5tn for defence alongside cuts in domestic spending

The US president's new budget would cut non-defence spending by 10%, partly by slashing domestic programmes.

That's $4 billion per day,
$3 million per minute,
€50,000 per second, 24/7

It's also $30 per day per US household. That will be felt.

How many zeros does an american trillion have?

I think it is slightly different than the European trillion.

@paeiro Yes, the budget request is just $1,500,000,000,000.
@paeiro @Sustainable2050 a factor of 1000. A quarter of Germany‘s GDP, well almost a third. Impressive. Numbers a normal person cannot imagine. How much paper would you need to print it in bills? How much rice are 1.5 trillion rice grains and how many people could get fed with such an amount of rice? I can‘t even estimate.
@bernab @Sustainable2050
Eeeh, I do not have enought fingers to count so many zeros.

@Sustainable2050 He's just showing that he's increasingly isolated. He's bought into this idea of "apexity" where when you're at the top "they let you do what you want." And he's surrounded himself with idiot minions that are supposed to turn whatever brilliant idea he comes up with in the moment into reality.
It's not just him, though. His magical belief in "manifesting" has infected his whole support structure. They have achieved (according to them) transcendence where, finally, the little people don't matter any more.
They have achieved, in other words, total separation from reality.

That's gotta be very inflationary, unless the introduce a super profits tax on military-industrial complex companies.

What would the FDR administration do?

@Sustainable2050 and then you look at all households, not just the tax paying ones.

Trump wants to take almost 18,500$ per tax paying household for (the department of) war. America first, my *ss.

Btw, as of March 2026, the total national debt is approximately $39 trillion, which averages out to roughly $274,000 per household.

Looking at these, if I were under attack, I would indeed try to disrupt the US economy exactly like Iran seems to be doing.

Citing the cost, in 2019 (during his first term) #DonTheCon called the decision to invade the Middle East:

"The worst decision ever made."
