"Well, where is the money? Show me the money? Our allies have put up a few billion dollars, but the American taxpayer has been required to shoulder the burden of this war"

This quote by Jim Cooper is referring to the monetary cost of the war. He is questioning where the cash is originating from to money the war effort. He is pointing out that while a few of the allies have contributed a few billion dollars, the majority of the problem is being shouldered by the American taxpayer. This suggests that the American taxpayer is paying a disproportionate quantity for the war effort, which the allies are not contributing their fair share. This quote highlights the financial expense of war and the burden it places on the American taxpayer. It also works as a tip of the value of allies contributing their fair share to the war effort.
