Hegseth: As far as the $200 billion. I think that number could move. Obviously, it takes it takes money to kill bad guys.

@Acyn What about these bad guys?

@Acyn They’d rather spend money on yet another unjustified war in the Middle East than health care for our own citizens. $200B would’ve covered 6 years worth of ACA tax credits for our own citizens (yes, the same health care funding they shot down as too expensive)

@Acyn @grok How many Iranians have been killed so far in the current U.S.-Israel war with Iran, and based on current estimates of total U.S. spending, what is the approximate cost per Iranian killed?

@Acyn We are $39 TRILLION!!! in debt because they cut taxes for oligarchs and because of past forever wars, and yet this admin wants $200 billion more for their bullshit war. It’s time to impeach every last person in this administration

@Acyn Nah, it takes bad decisions to burn billions. This didn't have to cost lives or dollars.

@Acyn It also takes money to feed the hungry, give Americans healthcare and so many other things but Hegseth thinks this illegal war should supersede everything else.Hegseth is a POS!

@Acyn Has anyone asked him why he squandered millions of taxpayer $$ on Alaskan King Crabs, lobster tails and rib-eye steak? Now he wants more?

@Acyn Mid range estimate of Iranian casualties divided into estimated cost incurred since conflict began $30 billion equals cost per casualty inflicted $12.5 million!

@Acyn I was told that we already won the war. Can we leave now?

@Acyn translation: it takes money to protect pedophiles

@Acyn Not his money..he’s not fighting..

@Acyn @SecWar, where is ALL this money coming from?

@Acyn Could? yeah, it is going to skyrocket.. It is what you voted for..

@Acyn But God forbid we have affordable healthcare for Americans

@Acyn And to buy lobster, crab legs, filet mignon, a make up room etc

@Acyn Also the Fox News host….

@Acyn 'The Hitman' Pete Hegseth

@Acyn Tell Pete your money is going up in smoke. #IranWar‌ #F35

@Acyn Meaning you were not prepared for this fight. Maybe if you didn’t spend all that money on pianos, steak, lobster, and crab legs for your luxury-craving ass then maybe you wouldn’t need so much money.

@Acyn Not to mention ‘Good Guys’ as Hegseth sends 2,200 young Americans to face 150,000 Revolutionary Guards who are protecting their homeland. This will not end well for America.

@Acyn It takes money to save lives too, and yet we never spend it as such

@Acyn @HadleySheley I doubt he has a clue who or where the “bad guys” are. He’s the worst person ever appointed to that position and is unfit for it, in the extreme. We shouldn’t give his dept another dime. This administration needs an #exitstrategy from the war they started with Iran, asap.

@Acyn This drunken buffoon blew through $93 billion just last month, and now Mr. Bourbon-for-breakfast wants $200 billion more?! GTFOH

@Acyn Refilled with what? Million$ missiles to protect against sub $100k drones?

@Acyn So no money for America Healthcare, food for poor children, Veterans that are injured, but plenty for Bombs?

@Acyn But I thought we won the war already ? Funny how there can be money for this but nothing to help Americans. (Health care, food costs, tariff refund checks, doge checks, etc).

@Acyn Or, just spitballing, we could have used that money for- Healthcare Workforce education on AI and Quantum Computing Care and housing for our Veteran You know, we could have made America great

@Acyn @PeteHegseth For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him...

@Acyn Takes alot of money to house inmates as well, tick tock on your incarceration for war crimes! @SecWar

@Acyn Why you need the money? I thought this is an operation will be over in 1 week Ask Israel to pay the 200B

@Acyn Maybe the DOD would have more if pete wasn’t wasting the money on frivolous things to please his personal self.

@Acyn How about using that money to take care of American people

@Acyn @mrbigg450 Peace is too costly for them and their greedy buddies.

@Acyn It also takes money to fund healthcare, our schools and rebuild America’s infrastructure! That $200 billion would do a lot right here in America, but it doesn’t exist for Americans!
