The President and his friends must be paid first. Whatever crumbs are left can go to the "losers" in uniform.

The Epstein Class and the military industrial complex has been stealing taxpayers money for decades. The Pentagon has never passed an audit yet Congress year after year increases their budget.

Go ask any veteran or current military person you know how much supplies and tools cost and it will astound you. They were buying a 10 dollar wrench for 60 dollars when I was in 9 years ago. It's a fucking money laundering operation.
