Lindsey Graham: $1 Billion A Day For Iran War Is 'Best Money' U.S. Has 'Ever Spent'

Source: Huff Post

Mar 8, 2026, 01:10 PM EDT | Updated 3 hours ago


Sen. Lindsey Graham just called America’s “$1 billion a day” military operations in Iran a great “investment” for America.

During this week’s edition of Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” host Maria Bartiromo asked the South Carolina senator to justify the staggering cost of the conflict, which the Pentagon is planning to ask for billions more to fund and has sent oil prices soaring.

“Best money ever spent,” he said. “What’s it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime who’s trying to build a nuclear weapon to deliver to America? That’s a really good investment.”

Calling it imperative that Iran “never go nuclear,” Graham said, “What would it cost America if Iran had 11 nuclear bombs to threaten us? They would to hold us hostage.”

BARTIROMO: A billion dollars a day. Oil prices up 27% in a week. The president wants a $1.5t defense budget. The Pentagon wants $50b for these strikes. How are you gonna answer?

He's always been too passionate about war. How do you talk about war without considering the cost of lives on both sides.
Republicans reveal their true selves because it's all about money.

War- unlimited resources.

Fellow human beings- as little resources as possible.

is the direct result of being in office for way too long. A billion a day is no big deal? That's the taxpayers money, and he obviously don't give a shit. In what world/universe is a billion a day acceptable for an illegal war? This shit is way out of control and must stop.
