    He has no idea how money or budgets work. I guarantee you he could never balance a checkbook.

    It’s not really compared to what other countries pay but for Americans it’s still a budget breaker. This fuckwit started a war for no good reason and now the entire world’s gonna pay.

      If we had a 1/3 sized country, affordable cities, and broad coverage mass transit, sure. But we don’t.
