Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby said Monday that the estimated cost for National Guard protection of the U.S. Capitol complex through March 15 will cost taxpayers a total of $483 million.
Kirby said at a Department of Defense (DoD) press briefing that the breakdown of the costs is $284 million to cover personnel and $199 million to cover operations.
Tens of thousands of National Guard troops deployed to Washington to assist with security in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. Around 5,000 troops are expected to remain in the city until March 15 as former President Donald Trumpâs Senate impeachment trial poses security concerns, Politico reported, though it is unclear if there is any specific threat.

Praetorian Guards are expensive.......
To protect Nancy Pelosi’s chair from someone carrying it and sitting in it again?
What exactly were the other actual problems since that one day?
I want my tax money back.
HALF a BILLION BUCKS.
What an incredible waste...all for stirring up fear in the sheeple and for Piglosi to poke a stick in Trump’s eye.
Biden’s Elite Guard.
It makes me wonder what they have up their sleeves. Do they intend to arrest Trump?
I think they’re cutting the blimps on the border to help
pay for it. $50 million should do nicely. LOL
I don’t know how much the blimp program was costing, but I
doubt it was $500 million.
Maybe it was.
LOL
Notice that the guy who sat in Pelosi’s chair had a sudden urge to go out and get Botox injections in his forehead? Little known side fact.
Just think of it ....
All the money spent guarding a senile guy and a kneepad lawyer, all the while screaming about Russia, when CHINA is making all sorts of noise, oncluding videos on social media, how big, bad, powerful, and itching for a fight.
..... What if the National Guard and the Fence are unable to Flatten the Curve of the threat of White Privileged Supremacists against the Capitol by the end of March ...... They just might have to extend the use of the National Guard indefinitely until the Crisis of White Privileged Supremacy has been mitigated and is totally under control ......
Half a billion dollars.
Half a billion dollars.
the REAL insurrection is over now, it was performed by the globalists using Biden as their creepy puppet.
Like an episode of Tales From the Crypt
Are you serious? LOL! He must have caught her mental disease.
Installing an illegal government doesn’t come cheap.
Gotta “protect” the Satanic Deep State Cabal and its inherently evil shadow government.
If only our Heavenly Father would smite that vile town with all of His Righteous fury and wrath, the taxpayers would be spared a lot of senseless waste of their hard-earned money.
Come on, Heavenly Father! It’s win-win!
The world is rid of an inherently evil force, and we peasants are spared from the waste of our finances.
I wonder if anyone has posted a sign on that fence yet saying, “Please DO NOT FEED the Congresscritters!”
How many pitchforks would that buy?
Good thing it’s not real money,........
