And to think, this little hootenany is basically to tell overseas countries that have far better social programs than we do to cut them all off...to tell these governments to be as much of an tightwad (I'm being nice, here) as he is.
Back in 2007 when the US was actively waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan, one billion dollars would cover the costs of both wars for two full days. That's tanks and bombers and artillery and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and contractors fighting the Baathists, al-Qaeda and the Taliban, blowing all manner of shit up on the far side of the world.
