Pentagon officials told Congress that the first week of the war had cost approximately $6 billion, and Republicans are expecting the administration to seek more funding from Congress for the war.
For 2026, Obamacare subsidy cuts doubled or more the premiums 20 million Americans must pay – disproportionately impacting lower income Americans.
Enrollment has dropped and more people are uninsured, likely more healthy people thus creating adverse selection among the insured and driving premiums higher as health care spending is concentrated among fewer insured people.
The war goes on, spending goes on, vital munitions must be replaced, the President keeps changing the end game, even his own staff can’t seem to keep up.
Shouldn’t we ask who will pay for rebuilding from the rubble we have created?
To walk away simply means increased turmoil in the Middle East and an ideal breeding ground for terrorists.
Your President’s ego and quest for power with no planning for the future, consideration of consequences or putting American’s interest before his own has created a quagmire and economic adversity around the globe.
SURELY, this is exactly what you voted for😢
QUINNSCOMMENTARY 
Al Lindquist:
who pays for everything? the taxpayer and debt? and to take out the world’s most dangerous terrorist state does have a high initial cost but it could yield big benefits going forward–the number of Americans killed by these terrorists and our lack of response is legendary–
240+ Americans died in the Lebanon bombing under the Reagan administration with little or no response from us and the beat when on and on–where did Hamas gain its financial wherewithal if not from Iran and maybe Saudi Arabia–let’s see how this evolves and after destroying much of the nuclear capacity they had this could be the final blow.
The Unaffordable Care Act was built on lies and after subsidies to keep it afloat –another lie is being told–the 2 Year? subsidies should now be permanent–I thought they were a covid era handout but the socialists had every intention of making them permanent. The party of big government just wants it to grow and grow with all the power that goes with it.
We should ask who pays for the rubble ? Of course we should have a plan–I’ve been asking here for the plan of the demented one as the country was invaded. What was the plan as millions flooded the border? Where was it laid out? Only now do we hear our lefty friends asking about a plan. Our money and munitions used to destroy Gaza–what was the plan there to clean up the rubble.
I mourn not for the Ayatollah and his wrecking crew–good riddance–somebody stood up to you–now let’s see if new leadership brings the people some freedom and the Middle East some peace.

So, you assume all this eliminates a terrorist state? Based on past history? Based on what Trump claims?

Al Lindquist:
so you think their capacity to pump out oil has not been diminished thus having less $ to spread around for terror tactics–what about the nuclear capacity–the enrichment programs? this is bringing pain to the world economies but long term many see positive results–let’s see what how it all unfolds–you think Iran was was not a sponsor of world terrorism?
maybe you disagree with tactics which is fine–maybe long term peace with Hamas and others no longer a great threat to Israel and its existence–what’s that worth?

I have thought for 50 years that the US should stop meddling in the Middle East. It goes back to the early 50s. Administration after Administration has spent fortunes and cost lives of soldiers and sailors. It is disturbing but there are supporters in the house and senate so it’s not surprising.
