Flat BrokeOne worth keeping
“Shot all the powder at the first coyote and now the wolves is howlin'.”
Fighting Iran used up so much ammo the US now faces munitions shortfalls.

All Flat Broke →Dirt poor — even the crumbs are spoken for.
Can't afford nice things, won't stoop to cheap ones.
As broke as a family can get.
Got nothing — not even the free stuff.
Completely out of money.
Poorer than the poorest man in the Bible — even his bird was skinny.
