$12 Billion seems low. Apparently the radar struck in Qatar cost $1.1 billion alone.
I am not sure what a Raytheon AN/FPS-132 (UEWR) is or does, but it seems really expensive and important to cost over a billion dollars by itself.

“number I was briefed on”
Classic non-lie. Now he can say that he didn’t lie when he said the lie, he was just told to say this lie in the briefing.
He even repeats the “briefed on” detail after the follow-up.

I couldn’t help but notice the complete lack of long drawn out discussions and finger pointing before that was spent.

Still no money for universal childcare or healthcare though, right? Cause that would be too communist or something?

80 billion is how much it would take to make the social security trust solvent for generations to come. Reminder that republicans have no problem with government spending. They just have a problem with the government spending anything on you. Or in restricting them.

This is an administration which has learnt there is no accountability for actions so why would they even give the real number anyway haha just 3x whatever they say and add an extra x for every 2 weeks and that’s probs more accurate

It’s a good thing DOGE cut thousands of jobs from hard working civil servants from every level of government so we can further fund everything that the MAGA base was against and are now are fully for.
