The National Guard is preparing for its fall training programs, but Donald Trump’s deployments are eating into its operational budget
The National Guard is feeling the cost of Donald Trump’s insistence on using National Guard troops to carry out his expansive immigration roundups and policing actions in Washington, D.C.
National Guard Major General Greg Porter, based in Wyoming, told the state's lawmakers during a meeting of the Joint Transportation Highways & Military Affairs Committee that the costs of Trump's National Guard deployments are still unknown, but they're no doubt eating into the branch's funds, according to WyoFile.
Porter said that the costs of prolonged deployments will eat into funding intended for things like training and operations.
Oh no! Sounds like a good year for Maralago to get hit with a hurricane.

Blue states need to just form their own coalition for natural disaster responses.
It makes zero sense to constantly bail out red states when the fed won't help blue states.

There was a report that D.C. is costing $1 million a day. If he does 19 more cities, it's $20M a day.
I guess those DOGE cuts are gone. -
Those cuts were never about the money. They'll just print more

So what I'm hearing is, "ICE needs more funding?"

Just tax us more and set up a parade for the kid's bday.

Why are they paying for it themselves when operating under federal orders?

Typically fema helps regardless. I don't think that has changed so far this year.
-
Why are they paying for it themselves when operating under federal orders?
yeah I don't get this. one reason govenors request federalization during emergencies is because when under fed control they use fed funds.

I guess those DOGE cuts are gone.im still 100% that doge actions raised costs and did not save squat.

I thought one of the first rules about being an evil dictator is to make sure to pay your troops decently so they don’t turn on you.
He’s gonna find out pretty quick that loyalty goes out the window when they’re not getting paid.

They try, but many conservative rubes have been conned into thinking fema is there to repossess their house or something. They actively avoid/threaten fema workers, whilst placing themselves and others in danger attempting to do fema’s job. Our propaganda is such poison in the US.

I thought the idea was that Trump wasn't paying them? As in that's the point, the Federal government is forcing the states to foot the bill as a sign of fealty.

this is what the government is good at, printing money and skyrocketing inflation.

IMO Doge activities were a smoke screen for a massive data grab

im still 100% that doge actions raised costs and did not save squat.
The numbers agreed with you -- severance ate a lot of the proposed savings, and the wrongful termination or constructive dismissal lawsuits haven't even ramped up.
Add this in and The US will be sorely equipped to fend off the next coup.

Even if that's the case, these are largely states that are in the red financially. They may be fine throwing national guard money at DC, LA, and their blue cities, but wait till it hits them in the basic functions.
Military deployment is expensive, and state budgets weren't written with the idea that the national guard was going to spend the bulk of the current administration deployed

Exactly. It’s easy to say “make the states pay for it” until the states start pulling from their primary services to fund it.
Oh, you need to renew your car registration? Too bad, because the DMV is only open one day a week now, and they’re by appointment only. The earliest appointment you can get is six months from now. But at least we have boots on the ground, right?
