Perhaps it is worth saying that the difference between $5M and $500B is $500B.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.

My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

The Kremlin-linked Donald Trump blackmailed Ukraine (again), threatening to withhold aid unless it provides him and his corporate oligarchs with $500B in rare earth material or equivalent contracts. Hours later he praised Russia. 90% of US Ukraine aid is already reimbursed before delivery. #OpCanary

POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare.
VOUGHT: Correct
POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.

Pete Hegseth reportedly spent $24M of expiring DOD funds on lobster, ribeye steaks, and Alaskan king crab.
Now the Pentagon wants ANOTHER $500B, on top of Trump's record-setting $1T military budget.

you don't just offer 500B to separatists without there being a deeper strategy at play here

The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.
Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.

MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly
