Both will increase the National debt on top of whatever money well need to feed the industrial weapons complex to maintain this non forever forever war.
My only hope is the Billionaire class is leveraged to the hilt and Congress refuses to bail their asses out like was done for the 2008 housing crisis.

(4,773 posts)The Trumps are not shy about proclaiming how much they have 'sacrificed'.
Visit to Arlington Cemetery reminded Donald Trump Jr. of all his family's 'sacrifices,' he writes

"I gave up my life to move to Washington to help Americans," Ivanka Trump says in Davos interview.

(24,069 posts)All this is just more willful ignorance contained within his usual fog of lies. But it was his description of the grief of families meeting the bodies of their dead at Dover Air Force Base that was most illustrative of his abject disdain for human life. They scream, like Ive never seen anything before. Theyll break through military barriers. Theyll run to the coffin and jump on top of the coffin. Crying mothers and wives. Crying desperately.

ETA I believe this was what happened, but not covered by Corporate McPravda, but preserved for the visuals FOX used to cover his pimply ass while wearing MAGA merch.
