Nobody is going to call out the fucking golden dome. That sounds like a weird peepee sex thing.
of course it has to be golden
And it’s a knock off. Of course.
Pretty sure this is still an underestimate.
Definitely sure.
Star Wars was a front to funnel billions to defense contractors anyway.
That was equally as dumb. It just had a better name.
It says none of the contractors want to get involved because they don’t think the project will survive into the next administration. Also that the administration held back most of the already appropriated funds, probably holding out for higher kickbacks.
I bet $1.2 trillion that it won’t even work if it ever gets completed.
It will work, but it runs out of ammo in one week and it has a decade long procurement cycle.
I assume this is a typo. Maybe 1.2 billion?
1.2 trillion dollars for a building is the entire military budget for a year. You could pay the entire military to make the ballroom out of golden toothpicks and it still wouldn’t cost 1.2 trillion dollars.
Edit: my bad, I was looking up the golden ballroom and this came up I didn’t read because I thought it was a typo lol.
I understand why iron dome for us would cost that much… thanks guys
Not a typo, 1.2 billion wouldn’t buy anything as far as space based missile interception, which is where most of the cost is coming from.
Not 1 building. A system. Imagine trying to defend every inch of border with missiles. A missle an inch if you will… How much would that cost? Software people. Power food water toilets… The border wall was one thing but lets spend more and with automatic fire piss filled missles over every inch of ground we share with another country and Alaska and let not forget taking over Cuba to put piss missiles there.!
It’s not a typo, a patriot air defence system costs a bit over 1B to produce for one unit.
The golden dome is supposed to be a missile “shield” that will protect the entire contiguous US from ballistic missiles. (The name is based on the Israeli iron dome). I promise you that a $1.2 trillion budget is just the start, and it will never work.
You know what we could do with $1.2 Trillion dollars to protect against missiles?
Spend $1.2 Trillion on humanitarian aid to the world removing anyndesire to send missiles in the first place. Oh wait, we were doing that ahit but “USAID is DEI” won out with these fucking morons and was closed.
this guy is to influenced by his infatuation with golden showers.
I genuinely thought he was going to make the dome on the Capitol building gold.
And that’s just a preliminary estimate. The actual cost is always higher.
Absolutely no one is surprised that he lied about how much it would cost, or just pulled a number out of his ass with no idea how much it would cost.
Here’s to hoping it never gets off the ground, and the money isn’t spent.
And it’s pointless.
Forest, trees.
He won’t live to see it past the planning phase.
never meant to. you see, it’s a grift to steal more money from Americans.
Yeah, but he knows Democrats will never dare to cut a dime of military spending.
10 trillion dollars? How the fuck are we gonna cover 50 trillion dollars? Where do you even get 100 trillion dollars from?
I swear to fucking god he’s gonna print a trillion dollar bill before he leavea office
