Show Notes
The US has spent billions on its military campaign against Iran, with costs running at least one billion dollars a day. This includes expensive weapons like Tomahawk missiles and torpedoes, resulting in heavy casualties and the death of seven US service members. Congressman Jim McGovern criticized the priorities, highlighting that this money dwarfs funding for domestic programs. One days war spending could cover Bostons full annual city budget or fund school lunches for one point eight million American kids for a year. Critics question if the goals justify the endless costs, as rising gas prices hit home and some politicians call for sacrifices.
