But How Would We Pay for the Iran War?

Why are no conservatives asking how we'll pay for war with Iran? So-called "fiscal conservatives" always ask: "How will we pay for it," when it comes to healthcare, education, and social programs. When it comes to war, those questions are never asked. In fact, on January 5th, Trump bragged about military spending in a tweet, saying:

The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks and American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"

David Pakman discusses this hypocrisy.
