[QUOTE=Str4fe;30849446]Think of the number. 3,4 trillion. And thats just the minimum amount used in the war.
Thats enough to[list]

Thats over 150 times the money that is used to explore space.[/QUOTE]
And then we can tax the hell out of them to make that money back!
Seriously, the world would be a better place in general if that money had never been spent.

US citizens don't run the US, it's the politicians, and no matter who we vote in, it's the same fucking person with the same "new" ideas.

Throwing money at programs doesn't solve our problems. Why do private schools, with less money, educate better?

Technically we settled the differences between us and Russia. Since we have so many nuclear bombs, we decided it would be best to keep peace due to the saftey of other nations that might get caught in the nuclear fallout.
Not to say we will never go to war, but it's highly unlikely.

He's using an analogy.
i'm honestly surprised that it's only 6000 american soldiers
i thought the count was substantially higher by this point

The study estimated the financial cost of the wars at a minimum of $3.47 trillion and up to $4.12 trillion, which represents about a quarter of the country's current debt.

And it would only take around 4 Billion dollars to feed every hungry school-age child in the world.

What he's saying is, Democrats suck just like Republicans.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;30857536]What he's saying is, Democrats suck just like Republicans.[/QUOTE]
at least democrats are actually trying to accomplish things
$14,5 trillion debt. That means $1,4 trillion interest rate. Annually.
Think of how much good you could do if you haven't to spend $1,4 trillion alone in damn interest rate.
Plus fixed budget.
Man it should be illegal to spend more than you earn.
As government.
That's about 43 civilians for every single person killed on 9/11. Has the Middle East paid enough in blood to make up for 9/11 yet?

And how many civilians do you think the Taliban were killing every day they were in power? I know the reasoning for the invasion of Afghanistan was massively flawed eye for an eye vengeance crap but it's an absolutely justifiable invasion of a country that you made a significant contribution to destroying and really if it's not your responsibility (and admittedly Russia's) to fix it I'm not sure who it should fall to.
Iraq is sketchier to say the least.

Okay so we're 10 trillion in debt and what's anyone doing about it
One might say that the Republicans are doing somewhat more to reduce the debt, although they are more pro-military
