And the war in Iran is ahead of schedule. Or will last five weeks. Or, hell, who knows? Except we are running out of capacity to defeat missiles and drones. And that ability already costs more than twice the cost of the offensive weapons. We knew this, we still started this war.He originally said was going to cost $200 million. Then he said $250 million. Then $300 million. But now it's going to come in under budget at $400 million. https://t.co/NlC3FBbv6m

Very similar to this:
Rep. Keith Self: "All of the members of Congress that are bellyaching need to stop it. We've got young Americans in harm's way today. If you've got a complaint, let's deal with it afterwards, but right now if Congress wants to do something, let's get the defense industrial base… pic.twitter.com/6A4RqXXHRn

Rep. Keith Self: "All of the members of Congress that are bellyaching need to stop it. We've got young Americans in harm's way today. If you've got a complaint, let's deal with it afterwards, but right now if Congress wants to do something, let's get the defense industrial base moving faster.The sunk cost fallacy. “We’ve already spent this much. We can’t stop now.” It’s what makes construction projects go from $2 million to $4 million to whatever the cost to finish ends up being.
Pretty much what kept the Vietnam War going for 20 years, in a nutshell. Except we didn’t even have a treaty obligation to start this. It was totally our choice. We can always undo it. So don’t bring this lame ass shit.
Just say "No."Trump and Republicans are going to want taxpayers to pay a fortune so Trump can have more toys to kill people. This is where Dens can make a stand just like they did with DHS and ICE. https://t.co/kmLrtnGQt0
