The numbers Trump is trying to pass are laughably small, but the defense budget he's requesting is $1.5 trillion, exclusive of any additional funding specifically tied to Iran, a 42% increase over last year.

The average US household has already paid $450 more for fuel goods and services because of the war.

Costly war of choice.
