Trump wants1.5 trillion dollars for the military in 2027. That's $1,500,000,000,000.00, right?

That's a 40% increase in military spending, the biggest jump since WW2. Meanwhile, as of early April 2026 the U.S. national debt hit $39 trillion for the first time in history. That equates to over $113,00.00 for every American citizen.
