Hegseth admitted Trump’s Iran war has burned through $37.5 billion in taxpayer funds.
That could cover a full school year of free lunches for 30 million children. Or a full year of child care for nearly 2 million kids.

Durbin: Do you have a new estimate about what the war has cost us so far in this, the fifth month of the first year of this war in Iran?
Hegseth: Senator, the estimate we have as of today is 37.5 billion.
