$8T so far.

For the normal people out there who can't quite process numbers this big, let's put that in cognizable terms.

The US has an estimated 580,000 homeless people. If I'm understanding this all correctly, $8T would buy each and every one of those people a 13.8 million dollar mansion.

Bruh.

Don't forget to consider what happens when you don't give the $8T to the war hawks who benefited from it instead.

While I agree with that general sentiment, far more than that experienced homelessness over a 20 year period.

There was no sentiment in my analysis. Unless you count 'bruh'.

I was quite clear on the tense of the statement: "The US has..." etc.

This is a ridiculous statistic however you cut it. Multiple the homeless stat by 20 (a vast overestimate) and you STILL give every one of them a ridic house. What's going on here is unfathomably evil.

Do the math with 20x the number of homeless.
