Trump's 'Golden Dome' missile shield could cost hundreds of billions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Trump is expected to announce his preferred option - and its price point - in the coming days, a decision that will ultimately chart a path forward for funding, developing and implementing the space-based missile defense system over the next several years.
49% : The Department of Defense "has developed a draft architecture and implementation plan for a Golden Dome system that will protect Americans and our homeland from a wide range of global missile threats," chief Pentagon spokesman and senior adviser Sean Parnell told CNN in a statement.
49% : "The Secretary of Defense and other Department leaders have engaged with the President to present options and look forward to announcing the path forward in the coming days," Parnell added.
46% : Whatever option Trump opts for, it won't be cheap; $25 billion has been carved out in next year's defense budget for the system, but the Congressional Budget Office has estimated the US could have to spend more than $500 billion - over the course of 20 years - to develop a viable Golden Dome.
