Well, howdy there, internet people, it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump, $200 billion, and a promise.

The Secretary of Defense said that they needed $200 billion more for Trump's elective war with Iran. Trump said the war was going to last

about four weeks. I want to put that in context. Do you remember when the Republican Party shut down

the government because it was incredibly important to strip health care from working-class Americans

because the country just couldn't afford it.

That was the justification to hurt millions of families while handing billionaires tax cuts.

Ending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits saves the government somewhere between $124 billion

and $140 billion over four years.

$200 billion for four weeks or $140 billion for four years.

Always money for the war, but never for the poor. But here's the thing. A lot of

Americans voted for this, and I don't mean this in the, oh, you've reached the find out stage.

I mean, they literally fell for a line of rhetoric that caused them to vote for it. And they'll vote for it again,

because they may not get that all of the reductions in service and reductions in what the

government does to help Americans and all of the additional costs are a central part of

Republican rhetoric. We need to run the government like a business.

The Republican talking heads say it,

and the base repeats it so often

that they never think about what it really means.

It becomes a key piece of the idea.

That's why it was a good idea to put a rich guy in charge,

rather than somebody that actually represents them. Let's take it step by step.
