The US has spent $40B on six months of war with Iran and is said to be running low on munitions. Which Iran is not.

America is planning a $1.5T “defense” expenditure. Part of this was “automatic” draft registration. This was quietly dropped as unworkable by Selective Service just a few days ago.

Donald Duck (and cover) bills, coins and passports. This vanity project has (so far) cost $1.2B. Right: the “Patriot Passport”. 

The cons are not real gold just like Donnie’s Mar a Largo and Trump House redecoration. We can be sure Trump’s ball room (in the diaper) will be a gilded wonder.

How about $100M for the Arc d’Trump? $16M for the no longer-Reflecting Pool (well, unless you live your life in a blue tint). The Ball room for $600M. Purging the Smithsonian of real history costs $330M. Purging the National Parks costs $10B.

Darryl Cherney -Xerox the money

The US shock market is worth $45T, all in private or corporate hands.

And don’t forget Israel, our bosom friend and ally: $300B (for what?) since World War II. $3.8B every year till 2028 when it’s goodbye Don time. THAAD, Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow I,II,III, Patriot, Iron Beam. What a terrific investment! What's the ROI again?

$21B if Israel has an “emergency”. Isn't it always an emergency with Israel. Maybe they keep the wars going to get this extra doughAdministrations have repeatedly utilized emergency authorities to fast-track billions more in artillery shells, tank rounds, bomb kits, and tactical vehicles.

After the attack by Hamas terrorists, the US gave a further $14.3B in military “assistance” and $9.3B for “humanitarian aid, including support for Gaza civilians”. So where did that money go? Bullets, rockets, bombs for Gaza. Eat lead, Arabs!

Not winning any popularity contests

All this is just a rubber stamp from Congress. They know who funds their campaigns.

In 2025, the US proposed $8B in heavy arms sales to Israel. Guess what? Not one agorat kessef of that money has come back, leaving, once again, America holding the bag.

“Nearly all US aid today goes to support Israel’s military.” Are we supposed to be proud of that??? “The United States cannot provide security assistance to foreign governments or groups that commit gross human rights violations, a red line enshrined in the so-calledLeahy Laws: ‘Disqualifying acts include torture, extrajudicial killing, rape under color of law, and enforced disappearance.’ Somelegal scholars and other critics have alleged that the United States has not applied the Leahy Law with regard to Israel.” “Israel has agreed to use U.S. weapons only in self-defense. “ Hahahahaha! [Sources: US Dept of State; Council on Foreign Relations]

They call Israel a “cornerstone” of American foreign policy. And they’re partly right. Actually, it’s a millstone chained to America’s neck. 

Buddy, can I borrow your forklift?

So where is all this money coming from? US taxpayer revenue was $5.26T, deduct $1.5 T for offence, leaving $3,76T. US govt operating costs are $7.04T. Hm, there’s a minus in there somewhere. 

That’s $20,600 per person, including babies & toddlers. The US spends hundreds of billions every year for past wars, primarily veterans’ benefits (you know, those losers and suckers who don’t have bone spurs), medical care and interest on national debt accumulated from wartime borrowing.

There are $2.5T or more US dollars in circulation, meaning private hands, worldwide. The US is pwned by $31.87T in bonds owned by other countries, on which it has to pay 5.2% in interest.

Which brings us to Fort Knox where 8,133.5 metric tonnes (261.5M troy ounces) of pure gold are stored. Although the market value at current prices is $1T, the US claims $11B based on $42.22 per troy ounce, decided by Congress in 1973!.

Remember mortgage-burning parties, when you'd just paid off your house? The US is $39.84 trillion dollars in debt. Nobody's going to burn that mortgage anytime soon.

America is financially (and some of us would say, morally) bankrupt. This calls into question the safety and security of US dollar holdings. They’re just printing money and the whole world believes In God We Trust, the almighty dollar, soon a $250 bill with Trump’s likeness…backed by nothing.

My advice: buy yuan.
