Golden Dome also has been criticized as unnecessary, as the U.S. already protects itself from any potential incoming missiles via a network of systems such as radars and ground-based interceptors, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, a short- to medium-range, ground-based air defense system.

  1. the great part of thi sis they didnt save 160bn (no reciepts) and that it will cost way more than that to do the dome.

  2. Paying Elon back for getting him elected, of course.

  4. “But the golden dome will keep us safe!”

    Kind of like those air traffic controllers, park rangers, disease researchers, emergency programs, weather analysts, etc. that DOGE cut?

  5. America has historically protected itself from incoming missiles by being friends with the only two other countries within missile distance. It’s much cheaper and more reliable.

  6. No one look at the extra $2.5T in deficits over the next 10 years, while slashing funding. All going straight into their handlers’ pockets

  7. Israel: *has iron dome*
    Trump: “give me one of those but call it golden dome.. because gold shiny, me likey shiny”

  9. And don’t forget the tax cuts for the rich, which the real point of DOGE was to offset. Well, that and massive tariffs. Picking our pockets to give straight to the rich, without them contributing anything extra to society.

  10. The goal all along was to gut all government programs that benefit people in any way, and divert all that money to defense contractors.

    Because people don’t matter to these ghouls. Only corporations. The care and feeding of the military industrial complex has always been a GOP top priority.

  12. Golden dome is the new wall. It’s just a way to give money to weapons manufacturers

  13. So Musk gets 100’s of billions to build Golden Dome-X and then he gets mad about something, he just shuts it off? And, Putin, Xi, and Un are great, smart and strong guys according to our new Administration, so who are we protecting ourselves from?

  14. The true irony is that gold would probably be the worst metal to make a dome with. It’s too expensive and super soft.
    Why spend 500 billion to protect yourself from something that’s not a problem unless you’re planning on making problems?

  15. I remember when doge was supposed to cut 2 trillion… then 1 trillion… then 500 billion… then-
