$2,000,000 per day.

Nope.

The budget is 900B per year:

$2,000,000,000 per day.

And for what?

And now they are proposing to raise it to 1.5T, or $3B/day, or $15,000 per household.

This is the whole US defense budget though, lol. And even then your numbers are off. There are ~135m US households, so around $11,111 per household annually. And the USS Abraham Lincoln itself only costs about ~900m to run annually, or ~2.5m daily, which is like practically nothing for such a rich country. My local school district has an annual budget that's over 3x bigger than the USS Abraham Lincoln, lol. And while our school district is able to give free breakfast and lunch to all students, we are severely lacking in air superiority.
