      The mistake is thinking that any of that redirected budget will actually be used to help people in the US, and also not factoring in the loss of favorable trade and other soft power. Save a billion on bases, lose 2 billion in trade agreements kind of thing. These aren’t simplistic one-dimensional math problems, there are a lot of moving parts and downstream effects.
