    I think this is said for the parts of the domestic audience that gasped at the $200 B partial bill. Of course Arab countries are going to pay nothing, but for a moment, MAGA people can feel like it doesn’t come out of their pockets.

      It’s the “wall and make them pay for it” it’s the “tarrifs and make them pay for it” now its “war and make them pay for it”.

      Well, Arab countries are paying for it, just not to the US government. They pay to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc. Have you seen the new missile and equipment orders?
