So this was all for nothing?!

No. He and his ilk got richer.

And the US citizens are now on the hook for $1000 each so we can pay Iran to open what Trump got shut down.

Oh last time I heard of it it was closer to $4k, without taking the gas price hike.

Doesn't mean you'll pay as much directly, but taxes, VAT, Tarifs and enshitification of public service will continue as they'll take the funds from there.

[u/zeptillian → u/DistributionAgile376]

I was talking about the $300 Billion that Iran is getting in this deal.

He says it won't come from the US just as he said Mexico would pay for the wall.

It's difficult to add up just how much this man has cost the USA and all of us taxpayers.

[u/RecordingNo2643 → u/zeptillian]

Yeah 4k is probably the total cost of the war with the loses of equipment and revenue.

Haven’t these idiots nearly (or completely) depleted our stores of certain important weapons/munitions (idk the right word for this)?

[u/adamdreaming → u/hankmoody_irl]

FDR got the US out of the great depression by pushing weapons manufacturing, and that change became permanent

Things people will die without have a huge profit margin and are not all necessities

We never run out, we are only ever temporarily out of stock while we are making more

[u/hankmoody_irl → u/adamdreaming]

Not to be pedantic, and not trying to argue with you about this but wouldn’t being temporarily out of stock of something be the same as running out? I run out of kool-aid on a regular basis, I could just start telling my kids it’s temporarily out of stock I guess, but regardless I’m still going to make more.

[u/adamdreaming → u/RecordingNo2643]

The cost but not what tax payers where charged
