Acting comptroller Jules Hurst III, testifying before the House Armed Services Committee, said that the bulk of the figure has been devoted to ordnance.
The guy said, “Right now, the war is costing us $25 billion” or something close to that. Is it just me, or is that weird phrasing? Wouldnt you say “The war cost us … so far” rather than use the present tense “costing us”?
Remember, every single person in that administration is stupider than the stupidest person you have ever met. Reasonable syntax is a pretty huge ask here.
