The National Guard’s mostly quiet walks through Washington, D.C., are expected to cost a little more than $200 million, USA Today reported, and that’s the figure just for the D.C. National Guard, not for the eight states that have sent troops. Those likely more than double that cost, because out-of-state troops make up a majority of the D.C. deployment. According to the California National Guard, the deployment to Los Angeles cost another $118 million as of early September, a number that continues to grow as 100 troops remain in the city, long after the precipitating unrest has died down.
Well, thank goodness that we have money to conduct war on our own citizens. I’m sure everyone is happy to give up their health care so that the National Guard can help the ICEstapo play “Where’s Waldo?” looking for “antifa” and tackling very dangerous gardeners/nannies/cooks.
Probably costs more than actually caring for people, too.
Caring for people won’t send a tingle up the leg of the Confederate knuckle-draggers, though.
Fuck, that’s disgusting… and entirely correct.
