Pete Hegseth Pushes $200B W*r Budget Plan
The price of w*r is rapidly climbing. Pete Hegseth says there’s no clear timeline for ending the conflict with Iran—warning it could stretch on for weeks or longer. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Defense is preparing to ask Congress for up to $200 billion more to fund operations and replenish weapons. With reports that just the first six days of fighting have already cost over $11 billion, lawmakers in Washington, DC are now questioning the scale of spending, how long the conflict could continue, and what it means for taxpayers and long-term federal debt. This isn’t just about the battlefield anymore—it’s about the economic cost of w*r at home.
