Hegseth Is Demanding US Households Pay $5,000 More Per Year to Fund the Pentagon, Economist Says

How about instead the billionaires who’ll profit from these conflicts pay for the military, in whole, instead.

The same pentagon that they want to merge with the Israeli military?

They want to give them even more money under the guise of “security.” Israel has captured the legislature. They will soon control the Pentagon.

Where's my "Taxation is Theft" guys at?

that's something like an extra $650-700 billion a year. here's my contribution: "Fuck off"

Party of fiscal res.......aww fuck it. They are traitors.

This is outrage porn. What's this a distraction of?

Maybe this? Modelling scout linked to Epstein found dead in Paris

Edit 2: This is more likely it:

Hegseth says Iran war has cost $37.5 billion as lawmakers grill him over request for more funding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the Trump administration's $80 billion funding request as lawmakers from both parties pushed back.

When the tap runs dry, the currency devalues, the food riots start, and then the military will be deployed on U.S. citizens. I know, I know, “they already are”…we ain’t seen nothing yet.

My income didn't really change from 2024 to 2025. My accountant is the same, and my business is the same. I paid $4000 more in taxes in 2025.

I have and continue to qualify for Medicaid in my state.

The plutocracy is intentionally widening the divide between the wealthy ruling class and the working class by driving the working class into poverty. And when I say working class, that includes white collar workers. It doesn't include people who work as a hobby because their yacht is in the shop and they're bored

"The Republicans want a new Federal Tax"

Go overdose you roided out Nazi bitch

Go sell some stolen oil, you fucking pirate!

"Affordability" is just a Chinese hoax the Democrats have chosen to propagate.

Paying 5 dollars per gallon of gas and sending 5K more to forever wars is a great way to help everyday Americans.

I hope the redcaps are enjoying the economy they voted for.

Tithes from the ultrarich warmongering politicians first. If they can't raise donations to cover their war, we don't have to pay either.

Its fucking embarrassing to be from the USA. The only way it could be worse is if I was a blue conservative or a red fascist

In the end dems will muster up just enough votes for it to pass. Trump will ask for $1.5t and they'll give him $1.8t

looks at my bank account. Bruh not even 1k in mine. What ya gonna take? How about dust bunnies.

That's what happens when you pick your cabinet from the FOX News Entertainment division.

I love complaining about the national debt, we have overspent for years, seems its finally becoming an issue, doubt this would offset any future debt ceiling caps.

Fuck this halfwit wannabe dudebro whose penis is likely smaller than Trump's. I cannot wait until this piece of shit is in prison getting fucked up the ass on an hourly schedule.

Ok, but the alternative is every male in the Pentagon doesn't get testosterone supplements, so we all gotta pitch in.

I can't wait for this warmonger to get his comeuppance.

Bro is already a degenerate, unrepentant, war monger. Why does he just loot another country at this point? The military should be self funding if you are already fine with being hated by the world.

Drunk Pete apparently only learned one thing about his job duties and that was how to demand more funding.

Coke isn't cheap you know.

No

Years of trillion dollar budgets, weapons contracts, off books funding, the list goes on.

Choosing to voluntarily launch a ton of expensive missiles at cheap drones while wasting all of the munitions on an unnecessary war? All the funding for all of this war machine just has disappeared? That's Soviet levels of incompetence.

What about socialized medicine? I can see the MAGA fucknuts paying more taxes to help their drunk friend.

What extra 5000

fuck him
