A wild assertion like the one that was made deserves to be challenged. And the fact that you think asking someone to back up such an assertion is congruent with hostility or a 'lack of neutrality' really says more about you than it does about the asker. Big "how dare you question them" vibes, another ideologue hallmark, coincidentally, lol.
It's actually nothing compared to what the US government already spends every year. The entirety of all US billionaires' combined net worth is less than a single year's spending.
You're saying this like I demanded people not be allowed to downvote whatever they want, which I didn't and never would. But what gets downvoted can speak volumes about the downvoter's assumptions and biases, whether they like it or not.
