Elizabeth Warren Claims Trump’s Iran War Costs Taxpayers $11,500 Per Second

Elizabeth Warren says Trump’s Iran war is costing taxpayers $11,500 every second. She used that number to accuse the administration of pouring money into war while doing nothing to lower healthcare costs for Americans at home. Reuters reported the first six days of the war cost at least $11.3 billion, while AP said the first week topped $11.3 billion. The political message is clear: if Washington can spend billions on war, why can’t it do more on healthcare and costs here in America?
