War costs money. Our previous engagements cost us an unfathomable amount of money.
Deficits go up, debt goes up. Debt goes up, inflation goes up. Tax dollars that would otherwise be used to pay for services that would help us have to go towards paying off the debt instead. The money spent on wars goes into the pockets of the wealthy people who own the military-industrial complex.
This shit just squeezes the middle class and makes us poorer while stamping a boot on the neck of the lower classes. This is a big part of why the median standard of living here in the US is plummeting.
