Donkey.
Iron Dome is a Missile defense system.
Israel has one which is why Hamas can launch thousands of rockets that aren't very effective against Israel.
Obviously, but what is the proposed budget for such a missile dome?
Factor the following and it could be quite a lot of tax money:How many miles long is Isreal?How many miles long is America?Isreal: 290 x 85 = 24,650 miles
America: 2800 x 1650 = 4,620,000 miles
4,620,000 / 24,650 = 187.42.Within these projections it would cost America 187 times the budget. A quick Google search yields that it costs $50,000,000 per battery with 10 to 15 currently deployed, an amount that has cost America $1,600,000,000 from 2011 to 2021 with another $1,000,000,000 approved in 2022. If there are no ways to cut costs and we remain within these budget projections, that should cost America:
$2,600,000,000 x 187 = $486,200,000,000 (486 billion).
Don't make me laugh.
Iron Dome defense systems need to be placed strategically for major populated areas like cities, not the fucking desert where basically no one is.
Mind you this is from someone who wants to put tariffs on foreign trade while claiming to reduce inflation and a desire to escape the national debt.
It's a pipe dream, one larger and more absurd than The Wall.
A booming economy is one where more people are working. This does reduce inflation which is the opposite of stimulus checks or SSI. Without the tariffs, the world has been taking advantage of the US in trade, just as the US was paying more for NATA while they needed it the least. Also there's nothing wrong with having a desire to reduce the national debt ( Bush and Obama at one point spent half of the national debt in 16 years )
