As conservatives like to point out, our current deficit is already astronomical: as of the end of November, 2025, $30,600,000,000,000.00.
The Pentagon just failed its annual audit for the eighth consecutive year; and the stated proportion of our budget that it receives doesn't even include considerable additional expenses for veteran health care, post-war assistance to the countries we've helped destroy, etc. Billions have been lost, completely unaccounted for, in Ukraine and other countries we've meddled in. Meanwhile, DOGE et al. scrape out funding for health care, crumbling infrastructures, etc.
How much has our take-over of Venezuela already cost us? How much more will it cost to maintain our control?
Maybe the oil barons who'll mainly benefit from the take-over will pay for for it (like the Don's cronies paid for his new ballroom, if in fact they have)???
