What $11.3 Billion Could Have Paid For
Trump’s Iran war cost American taxpayers $11.3 billion in just six days. Nearly $2 billion every single day went to bombs, military operations, and escalation overseas. But what does that number actually mean for Americans at home?
In this episode of Breaking the Feed, Silvia Salazar breaks down the real cost of war in terms everyone can understand. That same $11.3 billion could have funded school lunches for every child in America for months, supported food assistance for millions of families, kept millions of Americans on healthcare tax credits, and paid the salaries of more than 160,000 teachers for a year. When politicians claim there’s no money for families, this episode shows exactly where the money is going.
But the story doesn’t stop with the cost of war.
At the same time billions are flowing into military spending, Congress is pushing the SAVE Act, a controversial proposal that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. Voting rights experts warn the law could make it much harder for millions of eligible Americans to participate in elections, including elderly voters, rural voters, students, and women whose legal names may not match old documentation.
This episode connects the dots between war spending, political power, and the fight over who gets to vote in the next election. Silvia explains how these issues are unfolding in Congress, what the SAVE Act could mean for voters across the country, and why activists are mobilizing ahead of No Kings Day protests.
If you want to understand the real cost of war, the stakes of the SAVE Act, and what citizens can do right now, this episode breaks it all down.
