These numbers are staggering, but you also get numb to them. One billion doesn’t seem like that much when you look at the price of some military hardware or what’s spent on legitimate government programs, but it’s an insanely large amount of money.
I ran across another post tonight that helps give a different perspective on what that number means. That $200 billion he is asking for is more than Smaug’s mountain of gold. About four times more. We’ve already spent more on Trump’s war than Smaug had in the Lonely Mountain.
