I don't think they'd increase it more... they'd just spend it on poo that you don't like as well.
BTW....that report is not true, because a republican didn't write it.

That estimate is $434 billion. The truer amount is more likely double that, and if you add in the current value of future costs (such as the VA, pension payments, etc.) it could be two trillion. Then calculate the fact that it will never, never, ever be repaid on a FIFO accounting method (we still haven't finished paying off world war one), so that's any number ten times or a million times two trillion dollars. But according to someone on here when I asked if any amount is too much to pay, the answer from them was absolutely not; it would be worth 'freedom' and 'American democracy' to pay trillions of trillions of dollars forever, and have an income tax of 129% of gross income on everybody.
This president and all his Congresses have put the "tax and spend liberal Democrats" to shame by overspending.
