President Trump’s executive order to rename the Department of Defense to the “Department of War” could potentially drain the federal budget by a staggering $2 billion, according to a recent report by NBC News.
That massive price tag was revealed after NBC spoke with two senior Republican congressional staffers, two senior Democratic congressional staffers, and two other individuals who had been briefed on the potential cost. If you’re wondering how a simple name change could possibly cost that much, the details are pretty shocking.
