Krasnov wants more money for the military;

We are projected to spend 1,065.2 billion dollars on the military in 2026.

The interest on our debt is 970 billion dollars, spending on our military is more than the interest on our debt, our GDP doesn't cover the interest on our debt.

Krasnov wants more money for the military, so when you hear these "fiscally conservative" Congressional Magats demanding more money from one side of their mouths, they will also complain about the interest on our debt out of the other side which means more cuts for poor people.
