There's Not Enough Money in the World for Trump's Golden Dome

"To put this in perspective, if we pooled all the physical money together in the US, it still wouldn't be enough. Including currency outside the US Treasury and Federal Reserve Banks, there's currently $2.43 trillion floating around the US - a far cry from what we'd need. That's not even assuming worst case scenario; shooting rockets out of the sky"

"Under the $6 trillion scenario, the AEI estimates the US Space Force could field as many as 85,400 SBIs. That's a lot of infrastructure, and it assumes a generous ratio of real-world success, where it only takes a handful of SBIs to knock out each adversarial rocket. According to the American Physical Society Panel on Public Affairs' February report, the amount of SBIs required to knock out just one adversarial rocket could really be in the hundreds, assuming we're shooting"

Initial Golden Dome price was $175 billion, but estimates expand dramatically. Taxpayers for Common Sense and the AEI project $3.6 trillion over 20 years ($4.4 trillion with inflation). Space-based interceptors alone could cost up to $6 trillion. Under that scenario, the US Space Force could field as many as 85,400 SBIs, yet American Physical Society analysis indicates hundreds of interceptors may be required per legacy missile and next-gen solid-state ICBMs might need at least 1,600 interceptors each. China and Russia together may possess roughly 750 ICBMs. Available physical US currency totals about $2.43 trillion.
