"A couple hundred million is pennies". Of course, because our budget is way too high. I said I am not opposed to the mission, but we should expect the countries we are helping to reimburse us for our costs. It's easy to spend taxpayer money, when you don't need to actually write a check, and you can just raise the national debt.
