The golden dome is supposed to be a missile "shield" that will protect the entire contiguous US from ballistic missiles. (The name is based on the Israeli iron dome). I promise you that a $1.2 trillion budget is just the start, and it will never work.
You know what we could do with $1.2 Trillion dollars to protect against missiles?
Spend $1.2 Trillion on humanitarian aid to the world removing anyndesire to send missiles in the first place. Oh wait, we were doing that ahit but "USAID is DEI" won out with these fucking morons and was closed.
