A NON-POLITICAL VIEW - Shape of the Economy

FACEBOOK POST TODAY
BY FRIEND 6GUNNER (Military)

This is the LAST time I will post about, respond to or rehash ANYTHING concerning the Syria bombing by US forces that left that fuckin pile of shit desert airbase FUNCTIONAL after a dark hour attack.
*The cost of a single Tomahawk unit was $823,400+
We (the US government)launched 59 of them
*The cost (not including man hours and powering the 2 destroyers) is roughly $48,580,600
*Tomahawk missiles costs have risen to slightly above $1.5M per unit (just focus on the 59 used, NOT munitions UPGRADES) to produce
*As it stands as of October 2016's last estimate, repairing Flint, Michigan's pipes from main to home (in totality) is around $400M
*Meals On Wheels is a part of a $3B government grant block (costing around $2.5K per homebound senior citizen) which is on the chopping block
*The "America First" (skinny budget plan)calls for around a 13.4-13.7% slash in the educational budget (around $9-13B)
*The FIREWORKS were to show a sovereign nation's leader (as tyrannical insane as he may be) that he can't just torture or kill his country's citizens without the US (as foreign entity) not issuing a spanking, of sorts
*There's STILL a travel ban in place for Syrian refugees

I WOULD SIMPLY like for someone to make sense of how we can have a leader that out right said "From this point, it's America FIRST. AMERICA FIRST..." yet we have slashed budgets that benefited both the elderly & the youth, Flint, Michigan's repair project is moving at a crippled snail's pace and we just blew almost $50M for a light show giving an adversary the room to wiggle itself in a position of intercessor (ironically, on the UN's behalf) or the guy that won't let the neighborhood bully pick on the little kid?
*** THINK CAREFULLY -- I mean with a scientist's knowledge of measurement -- how you respond. I will be screen shooting  ANY & EVERYTHING that is said TO the POSED question and tweeting directly to the POTUS, his COS, press secretary, SOD & EVERY major news outlet there is so that they too may see.
**** ALL (REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU ARE OR HOW I KNOW YOU) STRAYING from the PROPOSED topic will be DELETED at my discretion (which means ALL BULLSHIT gets a good ol Marine Corps boot in the ass)

MY COMMENT (DC N8IVE 45 YEARS)

6, I hear you.  Not picking sides just offering interpretation.  TO A PRESIDENT  SO NOVEL AND ILL VERSED IN POLITICS, yet business savvy enough to play by the rules, which he bends yet did NOT make (bankruptcy)  Trump plays the business game of MIGHT not RIGHT.
Feel cutbacks everywhere are to show on the backend that Trump did more to reign in spending than to reflect whether worthy causes were cut.  end doesnt justify the means unless it reflects well on Trump.
my fear is where govt cuts, citizens will attempt to fill the void caused.   Where they cannot, Trump will call Darwinism.  I expect the average age to go down these four years.  God bless our Men n Women in Uniform.

⬆That was retrospective & introspective at the same time. Quite the broad & awesome outlook.
