American First FY2027 Budget - $120B Domestic Cuts & $500B War Hike

That war that’s practically over must be expensive.

 

Donnie figured out the war racket is a bigger grift than than the real estate money laundering racket.

Steal money straight from taxpayers. You don't need to rely on Russian mob bosses and oligarchs.

 

and these people are so wicked and self-serving, they’re just going to pocket a good chunk of that $1.5 trillion or spend it on frivolous nonsense/divert it friends, donors, companies they have a stake in, etc

America First tho

 

So did his sons. They are all in on the grift, with Daddy's help.

Company backed by Trump sons looks to sell drone interceptors to Gulf states being attacked by Iran

Do they do anything at all to help Americans? Literally everything they want to do is meant to harm or destroy the lives of people.

 

That's my industry. LIHEAP is an important safety net. Cutting it is a very stupid idea. Tweet is right, it would kill people. More households yet would be ruined by the distress costs. And all ratepayers would still pay for the bad debt of former LIHEAP recipients anyway, so no benefit for the rest of us.

 

Do you think Trump even blinks an eye at letting Americans die in pursuit of what he thinks of as his own legacy?

I'm pretty confident he'll let as many die as he needs to. He could not care less, so long as he doesn't have to personally assume that debt. Then he'd move heaven and earth.

 

Why would he care now at almost 80 years old when he never gave a damn about anyone but himself before? He's a fake patriot in every sense of the word. It's all about him. Always has been, and always will be. He can flex his so called military intelligence all he wants, but he will always sacrifice the health and safety of Americans to reap in the rewards. Whether it's raping and molesting young girls, bombing civilians, bending a knee to Putin and Netaynhu, or coddling to the billionaires in the world, he doesn't give a damn what harm he causes to our troops or Americans. He is a nasty, vulgar excuse of a human being in every sense of the word. What a fake Christian and despicable human being he is.

 

I foresee a lot of Trump voters regretting voting for him

 

American Billionaires First.

 

“We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things…”

 

All while the brainwashed cult cheer on seeing Trump make their lives less affordable. It's madness.

 

I mean....

 

A $440 B increase in the defense, when it's already 1 trillion a year, is absurd and makes this bill dead on arrival, the other programs don't actually fund what they say they do. They go through various NGO's to be abused by bad actors. For example, the kids of Soleimani were driving around in G wagons and private helicopters in LA living the high life off American taxpayer money. Hamas and various militant groups around the world are funded by American taxpayer money. So cutting the head off the snake is a prudent move -- but the savings should be invested in the American people, not expanding the military and foreign wars.

 

Jared is a morally solid guy who is highly competent. Rare to see these people in government.

 

Rather than just die . . . . those people might just grab their guns and go to washington to talk to them about it
I think we are getting to *that* point

**** the GOP and their WAR mongering distraction, they should all be in jail for treason, and not doing their jobs they know Trump is a traitor - and won't hold him accountable just to keep in power.

Unreal, they all must go.

The government has always been a big ole. Money Laundering Scheme
they just rachetted it up to 11

500$ Hammers etc

I don't believe any of these numbers:

The B-2 Spirit is the most expensive aircraft ever produced, with a total program cost of approximately $2.1 billion per unit. At the other end of the scale, older, high-volume fighters like the F-16 are considerably more affordable, costing around $35 million each.

Fighter Jets
Modern fighter jets are characterized by advanced stealth and sensor technology, which drives up their price.

• F-22 Raptor: While the official flyaway cost is listed at $143 million, the total production and development cost is estimated at roughly $334 million to $350 million per aircraft.
• F-35 Lightning II:
  • F-35A (Air Force): ~$82.5 million.
  • F-35B (Marine Corps - Vertical Takeoff): ~$109 million.
  • F-35C (Navy - Carrier Variant): ~$102.1 million.
• F-15EX Eagle II: The newest version of the F-15 costs approximately $97 million.
• F/A-18E/F Super Hornet: Costs between $67 million and $73 million depending on the configuration.

Bombers & Specialized Aircraft
These larger platforms carry much higher price tags due to their size and specialized missions.

• B-2 Spirit: ~$2.1 billion per unit.
• B-21 Raider: The next-generation stealth bomber is estimated to cost about $750 million to $800 million per unit.
• E-2D Advanced Hawkeye: An early-warning aircraft costing about $232 million.
• P-8A Poseidon: A maritime patrol jet (based on the Boeing 737) that costs roughly $290 million.

Transport & Presidential Aircraft

• VC-25B (New Air Force One): The replacement for the presidential aircraft is estimated at $1.9 billion to $3.9 billion for the two-plane program.
• C-17 Globemaster III: A massive strategic transport plane costing around $328 million.
• V-22 Osprey: This tiltrotor aircraft costs approximately $71.3 million to $118 million depending on the production lot and branch.

Operational Costs (Per Hour)
It is also worth noting that "buying" the plane is only part of the expense; flying them is also costly.

• B-2 Spirit: ~$130,159 per flight hour.
• F-22 Raptor: ~$58,059 to $85,000 per flight hour.
• F-35A: ~$34,000 to $42,000 per flight hour.

Don’t worry, you’ll fix it at the next midterms or presidential elections.
