2. Distrust (maybe we’ll get the one that’s 80% effective).
There are more but these are the two main issues.

Technical feasibility. This is bleeding edge technology that isn’t guaranteed to work 100% of the time. It involves shooting down hypersonic projectiles, which isn’t easy in the first place, from space.

HW Bush tried this back in the mid-2000s and apparently they were somewhat successful when shooting down test ICBMs. Shortly there after everything became secret and they stopped talking about it it’s usually means it worked. If we’re going to blow money on things I’d rather they try to shoot down incoming missiles then just give endless tax breaks to rich people.

„US officials had previously said that the Golden Dome will have the aim of allowing the US to stop missiles at various stages of their deployment, including before they launch and while they are still in the air.“
Ah yes, the continental anti rocket system that stops the north korean missile even before it launches. AND while they are in the air, even better than stopping them whafter theyve hit, right?
Bigger, better, and golden! WOW!

I mean why not, add it to the budget deficit, its not like it has a pay-by-date.
