The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will cost Americans a crapload of money. That's a far cry from the original estimate of $50 billion.
For 2.4 trillion dollars what sort of things could we have done in America?
maybe making a payment on our huge deficit
If AQ makes it to the States, ...I don't know. But, no one will be worrying about the national debt or funding other initiatives.
How much did WWII costs in $$$ and lives? But we aren"t speaking German or Japanese and still have the greatest nation on earth.
$8000 for every man woman and child in America? Maybe we could collect enough money to bribe Nancy Pelosi into doing her fucking job and impeaching the criminals in the white house?
The obvious answer is: Healthcare and Education...but personally I think:
Some of that money could have gone to snuff out the fires in California maybe?
