Lighting Money On Fire

 There are a lot of ways to oppose the actions of the Trump administration, because they are so indefensible. "They're wasting money" seems too mild considering the full bore assault on constitutional governance, but still...

Two examples of simply lighting money on fire:

- The idiotic move to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. This seems less than it appears (as so much of Trump's blather is) but it will still cost millions of dollars. If Congress approves it, it will cost billions.

- They are trying to kill a couple of satellites that report on climate change for the obvious reason that they don't want to report on climate change. This will basically flush away the millions of already spent money.

There are a thousand ways that Trump is causing problems with the national fiscal situation. His OBBB will explode the debt, which will require massive interest payments. His cratering the economy will then explode the debt even more.

Still, directly spending millions, even billions, on bullshit vanity culture war shit would seem to be a way to appeal to so-called fiscal conservatives.
