DOGE savings? I keed, I keed.
The Dod can surely find a way to provide enough funds, since we're not longer sending arms to Ukraine.
I worry that your joke is exactly what the administration is thinking/going to justify this with.
Air Defense testing:
In 15 months, the Navy fired more air defense missiles than it did in the last 30 years
The Navy has burned through costly missiles, some with a price tag of $28.7 million. So, it has turned to 5-inch gun rounds to down drones.taskandpurpose.com
Looks like this Administration isn't going to just sit out there and take it...

Good. We didn't "sit out there and take it" before he was President either. We did airstrikes then too. It's standard after the Houthis "misbehave" to slap them down some.Looks like this Administration isn't going to just sit out there and take it...

We telegraphed nearly every Strike and blew up a bunch of empty warehouses under Biden...
This time our Administration is actually serious.
News Max is reporting on this in real time if you're interested...
(Well..., the News Max coverage has devolved into filler now so maybe the military guys will come back later in the evening when they re-loop it.)

That's not my recollection. I remember Houthis firing off a lot of missiles before we ever did anything. Yes, we responded some, but more as a warning.
I don't know where you got that idea. We planned the strikes and carried them out without warning. Same as this time. The same operators do the planning and carry out these attacks. The military is always serious.
We, Israel and the UK carried out multiple strikes in retaliation for other attacks, just like this is retaliation for them vowing to renew their attacks. It's not significantly different in my view. I'm the guy that says we should tell Iran we'll sink their Navy if they or the Houthis shoot missiles at us.

is the very Definition of sitting out there and just taking it, in my opinion...
I linked that article. I don't think it supports your assertion. Look, I'm happy with this strike. I was happy with our strikes previously too. However, I'd go further, but I don't think either President would go as far as I'd go, which is to tell Iran they'll get the retaliation for any strikes against the US or our allies and partner nations. Starting with sinking their Navy.This:

Evidently (per the News Max "experts") the Iranian Spy Ships that routinely help coordinate the sea lane attacks regularly run to the cover of the Chinese base at Djibouti when potentially threatened...
You'd think one our Attack subs could solve that problem in short order (with some semi-plausible deniability if desired)... We could always say it looks like they must have hit one of their old mines...
We should sink them if they come out of the harbor again. Tell Iran it'll happen, and then do it if they dared to come out.
At $28M a pop, I’d rather be sinking Iranian naval vessels than selected Houthi rebels. Hell, for $28M I might consider killing a few Houthis.
