The National Guard presence in Washington, D.C., will reportedly end up costing taxpayers more than half a billion dollars thanks to newly extended orders to keep them from going home at least until May.
The Guard’s lingering mission, which was extended this week from Friday to May 23, will cost another $111 million in addition to the $410 million that has already been spent since they descended on Washington after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to The Wall Street Journal.
