"$300 billion dollars is less than $1000 per citizen. It's not an amount that would help anyone."
They dont count the backdoor costs of literally everything you buy in America going up 50% in price because of the war. And it wont go back down again when it ends. Same as always.
Yeah, I don't want $1000 coming out of my pocket for Trumps bullshit. I'd be fine with it going to people in need.
From the shit perspective of an economist that doesn't need $1,000 to catch up on bills.
Not to mention a family of 4, which would amount to $4000, which might be a 10% increase in income, not including the 30% that's already been taxed out of that $300b.
