Trump's Booming War Economy Explained In One Chart

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke with lawmakers last week and, at one point, laid out how the U.S. war economy is roaring back to life under the Trump administration.

Hegseth's message was clear: President Trump's "smart business deals" have sent an unmistakable demand signal to defense-industrial partners: build more, build faster, and prepare for sustained procurement.

"The department has helped stimulate more than two hundred and fifty private investment deals in thirty-nine states, 180 cities, 150 companies worth more than 50 billion dollars," Hegseth said, adding, "It's resulted in 280 new or expanded facilities with 18 million square feet of American manufacturing and more than 70 thousand new jobs in defense."

Hegseth's comments about America's industrial base roaring back to life should come as no surprise to readers, as we've outlined:

• Race To Refill U.S. Weapons Stockpiles Will Supercharge War Economy

"By changing our department's business model, American companies are investing in America with their own money, their own capital. A historic demonstration of American manufacturing and defense revitalization – all again with their capital, not Uncle Sam's," Hegseth noted.

Following Hegseth's testimony with lawmakers, the Department of War posted on X a graphic titled "The Arsenal of Freedom," which maps out the department's defense-industrial investments since January 20, 2025.

Welcome to the war economy.

"Completely Insane": Federal Govt Withholds $1.3BN In Medicaid Reimbursements To California, Citing Fraud

Authored by Lawrence Wilson via The Epoch Times,

The Trump administration will withhold $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California due to potentially fraudulent billing patterns, Vice President JD Vance announced on May 13.

The action comes among a host of others taken recently to crack down on fraudulent activity in Medicare and Medicaid.

“We want to protect these programs for the kids and the families who need them. We want to ensure that the American taxpayer isn’t getting fleeced,” Vance told reporters.

Analysis of Medicaid billing patterns in California aroused suspicion, according to Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“We’ve discovered $630 million in billing from folks who are egregiously the top 5 percent of outliers in billing. These numbers are so big you can’t imagine anyone billing for these [amounts],” Oz told reporters.

California itself is an outlier among states, Oz said.

“In California, the growth of spending on personal care services is twice the rate of the average of the rest of the country,” Oz said.

“We estimate there’s $500 million that could be a risk of being taken from federal taxpayers.”

Fewer than 20 of 800 Medicare providers recently removed from the program due to suspicious billing activity have called to complain, Oz said, offering that as evidence that they likely were not legitimate providers.

VP Vance responded with a double take after hearing that wild stat from Dr. Oz:

"You're saying that we kicked off 800 fraudulent healthcare providers off of the Medicare system and not a single one of them called the government and said, 'hey, you made a mistake?'"
