I can't see the original because no one wrote it.

I just wanted to point out that it makes no sense for people to keep
criticizing our defense budget when, at the same time, they wisely
understand that anything the government pays for is free. (Note I said
free!!)

An aircraft carrier would cost 5 billion if we paid for it out-of-pocket,
but only an insanely right-wing country would do that. Since the government
pays for 100% of the cost of our aircraft carriers, they are completely
FREE.
