The real cost of Trump’s war for Americans
DEAR EDITOR:
Trump attacks Iran, you pay. A $100,000 retirement fund invested to mirror the S&P 500 has lost $5,000 since Trump’s attack. If you had $200,000 invested you’ve lost $10,000 … in 3 weeks.
But wait, there’s more. The Pentagon wants a fresh $200 BILLION to keep fighting Trump’s war. That’s money you’ll be paying.
Hold on, we’re not finished. Gas is up 30+%. So if you drive 1,000 miles a month and buy 30 gallons of gas, that’s about $30 more a month or $360 a year — more if you drive more or get under 33 miles per gallon.
