## Resource

President Trumps ambitious Golden Dome missile defense plan, inspired by Israels Iron Dome, has received a staggering price tag of $1.2 trillion over twenty years from the Congressional Budget Office. This plan, aimed at protecting America with weapons in space, has been criticized for its potential impact on working Americans pockets. Despite Congress approving $24 billion last summer, the future of this trillion-dollar vision hangs in the balance as lawmakers weigh its affordability and effectiveness against emerging threats.
