      That’s not the source of the national debt. The Iran conflict is maybe 20 billion at most, and is mostly spending of things acquired in the past.

      It’s the general government spending that is out of control.

      Many tens of millions of Americans and Israelis want it.

      Trump and Hegseth do, and they're in charge.
