Remember how thousands were fired to ”achieve significant budget savings”. Then they hear these clowns claiming there are billions somewhere to invest in unjust war. Honestly I think the first mission of democrats come Jan 2027 should be to impeach these buffoons.

Well Dick Cheney said ” **Iraq War would essentially pay for itself** through Iraq’s own resources.”
Now this guy is claiming that he has a lot of funds although US has a budget deficit: USA has a budget deficit of about $1 Trillion. Why is he asking **$200 billion supplemental funding** request from Congress then if he has funds?
So the magical funding will fall from the skies in absence of raising taxes to pay for the wars. And that magical funding is more deficit and he will eventually pretend ignorance although he is supposedly the treasury secretary with past WallStreet experience.
Or maybe they will just print $200 billion .. Bessant can indeed connect himself to money printing machine like those before him.

The US is like Russia now – you know if they’re coming out and saying this, then the exact opposite is true.

If a government borrows 6-7% of its nation’s GDP every year and can expect only 2-3% GDP growth per year, does it really have the funds for any additional spending?

“Tax payer dollars.”
Yes, they have tax payer dollars.
What’s even more fun is that Congress still hasn’t legislated any funding for this war.

Not enough for health care, not enough for education, not enough for our national parks, not enough for the US postal service, not enough to staff the IRS to make sure the very wealthy actually do pay their taxes, not enough to make sure our infrastructure doesn’t crumble, not enough for weather disasters… But you want to blow up a bunch of stuff and destabilize the Middle East? Blank check for some reason.

But not for healthcare, or public transportation, or the social safety net, or child care, or education, or housing, or anything that actually benefits people. They have enough money to destroy, but never to build.
