And what do we have to show for it? That’s what I thought….
Lol you weren’t supposed to benefit from this. They were. And they did.
Australia’s total NBN build out cost ~US$36 billion (AU$51 billion) for comparison. That’s including rolling parts of it out twice since we half-arsed some of it the first time.
FWIW we’ve been seeing that amount be advertised for months. So either people talking about the fact that “the war having cost $40bn so far” were wrong months ago, or this number is under-evaluated for political reasons. Or both.
Yeah and the rest pal
The Bush administration predicted 50 billion. Iraq cost the US 6 trillion.
But wasn’t it so worth it?! /s
Yes, actually. To the villainous scum we call our leaders, it is worth it.
They’ve been seeding the Middle East with vengeful fury for the last 40+ years. Not only did we ensure a 100% chance of some sort of counter-offensive or rebellion to jumpstart the next war, but we’ve made doubly sure that they will echo war after war after war forever as new Muslim teens are raised and given a guiding finger at the US for all of life’s troubles, not that they’re entirely wrong.
So up up up goes defense spending and up up up goes the war bonds and up up up goes the petrol, forever. This is how the US war machine works.

cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives to createI guess all the data centers eating your local water supply are better because…smart machine thinks good? What the fuck is this timeline
I’m truly clueless what you’re saying. Smart machine? You do understand I was being sarcastic…?
So better be prepared to find some sponsors. Because why should the taxpayer finance Trumps follies?
“Every gun that is made…”
How much money have Netanjahu and Trump contributed to pay for their personal folly?
You must have watched some questioning today.
OMG this real?
E: Sadly no
He looked 40 in highschool. Weird.
He looks like every college rapist ever
Shame. That would have had real “Paul Ryan likes RATM” energy.
Awww darn I was hoping it was real, but I was having a hard time verifying :(
Mfer looked worse in the real photo.
Taxpayers: “$37.5b 😵💫”
Heggy: “$37.5b so far!”
Really. If this were another Afghanistan, we’re like a couple percent of the way through.
That’s actually a lot less than I expected.
Pretty high chance it is inaccurate.
Because he lied about the actual number.
Yeah but it also raised prices around the world, including in the US, and this money could have gone to its inhabitants instead, so in reality it has costed the American tax payer and many of its companies much more. Also, he’s a lying piece of shit so who knows what it actually costs.
We were burning over ten billy a month during the Iraq War.
Wasn’t it reported higher than that for the first month alone ?
Make Israel pay for the war they wanted America to fight
I mean they’re just gonna pay with US money anyways. Better skip the middleman lol
And he’s a liar so triple that at minimum.
