Pentagon budget estimates show the costs of federal military deployment to major cities. What financial burden does Trump's occupation plan impose on taxpayers?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pentagon estimates show occupying Chicago alone would cost $180 million monthly ($2.16 billion annually) for 15,000 troops and equipment. Extending this model to all threatened cities reaches $8.7 billion yearly - enough to fund 87,000 additional local police officers or 174,000 social workers. The data proves military occupation costs 12x more than effective community policing while producing no measurable safety improvements, making it the most expensive and least effective law enforcement option available.
