$400M for Trump's ballroom?
On top of:
-$1.5T for the Pentagon
-$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
-$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
-$496M to send National Guard into cities
-$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
-$100M for Trump's golf outings
But nothing for working people.

Analysis Summary
Reich lists specific budget allocations including a confirmed $400M ballroom proposal, a confirmed $1.5T Pentagon request, and verified $170B in ICE/Border Patrol funding. However, the post fails to provide sources for several large figures ($1B Qatar jet, $496M National Guard, $230M DOJ, $100M golf), and cherry-picks government spending while omitting contextβlike that some figures represent multi-year commitments, that Congress must still approve many proposals, and that these are part of broader budget debates where Democrats have blocked some items entirely. The rhetorical structure implies all these things are happening simultaneously with no context about legislative status or relative scale of domestic spending programs.
