$83,720 per second.


That's how fast the US is adding new debt
while funding 4 wars at the same time.
Iran. Ukraine. Taiwan. Israel.
The numbers:
$901B defense budget (record)
$175B to Ukraine since 2022
$20B in Taiwan arms since 2020
$15-25B Iran war (est. first month alone)
$3.8B/year to Israel (before emergency packages)
Meanwhile:
National debt: $39 trillion
Interest payments: $1.3T/year
That's more than the entire defense budget.
Oil: $109 and climbing
SPR: 172M barrels (half of 2020 levels)
Coalition allies committed: zero
The US is spending more on other countries' defense
than most countries spend on their entire government.
China hasn't said a word.
They don't need to.
Every dollar spent in the Middle East
is a dollar not spent in the Pacific.
The question isn't whether America can
fight on 4 fronts at once.
It's whether the Treasury can.
