Congress approved an additional $82 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan and combating terrorism worldwide on Tuesday, boosting the cost of the global effort since 2001 to more than $300 billion.

what a crock of fuckin shit…
shakes head What the hell are they doing… nothing has changed
werd. Its sickening. They can make that money appear out of nowhere when they want to start a pointless war, but not to pay down the debt or provide healthcare.
ha
i guess you guys have no idea what things costs for us…
give us some insight 
i don’t think he can tell us cause if he tells us he might have to kill us haha
I know exactly how much it costs.
the fact is, the country is fucked up here and we are spending billions on worthless pieces of shit countries like afganistan and iraq. 2 big ass bombs and 1 bomber could have handled the problem, but instead we decide to fuck around for years(vietnam, haven’t we learned anything) and get nothing accomplished.
300 billion!?!?!?!?!?! that would throw a kick ass crack party
just image if they spit that up & gave an equal ammount to every legal US citizen/or family.
have to break it down sometimes, cause its hard to grasp 300billion
the population is what…like 300 mill.
so that would be $1K to every person…or maybe 10K or so to every family.
thats a LOT of money.
They should take that money and have a weekly raffle. Any US citizen that has a job and pays the appriate taxes should get a lottery ticket type thing. Then once a week, the government draw a couple hundred tickets. Have each winner get $500 or something. I sure as hell would like the government more if they did that. Of course it would go corrupt and every politician’s family member would mysteriously get pulled or something. but it would be an incentive to have a job and a good move by the government to put money into OUR economy.
:blanyer:
i thought republicans were for small government and low taxes?
spending $300,000,000,000 on wars alone sounds a lot like those damned “tax and spend” Democrats…
:rolleyes:
same crooks on both sides, the democrats just dress better.
& republicas shop on yahoo for large boats
That $300 billion applied to the national debt would save us millons of dollars every day in interest.
