Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about

0:07.9

Trump's bill and the biggest cost. There's been a lot of numbers being thrown around when

0:14.1

it comes to the Trump agenda that is sitting in Congress right now. But there are a couple of

0:19.9

numbers that seem to be getting overlooked.

0:22.5

They just aren't getting the attention that I think they deserve. But before we get into that,

0:27.8

I'm going to give you a little bit of trivia for your Fourth of July weekend. That is in no way

0:33.8

going to be relevant to the rest of the video. The American Revolution was fought from

0:39.6

1775 to 1783, and during that time, U.S. forces sustained about 6,800 combat deaths. According to a

0:50.8

study by researchers at Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania,

0:56.4

the version of Trump's budget bill that passed the House could lead to a loss of Americans

bringing the total to more than $51,000.

1:42.3

Keep in mind, this is for the House version, and the Senate version makes

1:46.9

deeper cuts. There will be a link to the study down below. Keeping with the comparison of

1:53.2

combat deaths, you get a Panama, Grenada, and Somalia about every 12 hours. To be clear,

2:04.5

that's all three added together. You get 20 years worth of fighting in Afghanistan every two weeks. You get an Iraq every month. That's the first

2:10.9

phase from 2003 to 2011. You get a Korea about every eight months. 20 years of Vietnam from 1955 to 1975 about every 11 months

over the course of the budget window you get a World War II and a civil war both added together
