holy fckin shitz



THE COST OF WAR: The economic costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are estimated to total $1.6 trillion _ roughly double the amount the White House has requested thus far, according to a report by Democrats on Congress' Joint Economic Committee.
WHAT IT MEANS: The $1.6 trillion figure translates into a cost of $20,900 for a family of four, the report said. The Bush administration (http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Nov13/0,4670,WarCostsSummaryBox,00.html#) has requested $804 billion for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.
POLITICAL BATTLE: Democratic leaders in Congress seized on the report to criticize Bush's war strategy. The White House (http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Nov13/0,4670,WarCostsSummaryBox,00.html#) countered that the report was politically motivated.

Damn.............................................. ................

I have no doubt that the monetary cost of this whole ordeal is really high, but....


Fox News is not exactly a place I'd personally go for credible, unbiased journalism. :fact

if you do a search u will get tons of articles about this, and all taking about the cost of the war over the trillion mark

tell me about it mang.

and u have people here that are in need of financial help, and look at where our tax :dolla are goin.but i would rather spend the $$$ killing them than giving handouts to lazy fuckers. at least the hajis stand for something.

yea, but im working my azz off and still would like to get some help. im not saying to give me welfare or anything like that, but how about investing the money into our communities. build more jobs, parks, recreation facilities for our kids, school, after school programs, in nyc pay cops more for a starting salary which is bout a lil under 26k a yr:fact


there are alot of ways the the government can help us other the just to give us money

there are alot of ways the the government can help us other the just to give us moneyi also work and deal with shitbags every day who get ssi because they have alcohol or drug problems. fuckers on public assistance etc. i would piss on them if they were on fire. i agree pay the cops more. i live in utah but im not from here. they are in the top 5 in the nation for taxation but they have the lowest per student spending in the nation. this is because of the dominant religions belief in populating the earth bullshit. i believe the average wage for a teacher here is ove 30000 a year new cops dont make that much. haha btw im a snowplow driver here, ask r1lover haha

I'd rather see the money going to pay of the national debt. Once that's done, fix and update our roadways. Once that's done, we need to restructure the gov't by getting rid of a shitload of the programs they have, and should never be offered by the gov't. Then, we cut taxes and people have more money.

Let's get back to the basics of what gov't was meant to be.

Pretty soon it starts addin' up to real money!

The USA is going down fast right now, a big change is needed. Going to the right place when they decided to chase Al-Quaida and the Taliban would have help.

Dam, that is a few bucks for sure :crash

FUCK BUSH! and this bullshit war! where the fuck is OSAMA'S HEAD?

There's probably a deal with the Bin Laden family, (who are very close friends to Bush and his gang), to not catch him. So they went for oil instead. Funny that they know where he is, but they don't look for him!! LOL!!

Honestly, it'd be so simple to do that people think it's impossible.

I've contracted at some very large corporations, and you wouldn't believe the amount of BS and waste that goes on. Would take some time, but it's not that difficult to start trimming where it really needs to be. Gov't shouldn't be any different.

Where I'm contracting at now, it's so fricken inefficient it's unbelievable. It's the worst place I've been by far in terms of inefficiency.

So, IMO, the more money you return to the people, the better off they'll be. The better the economy, the better the country would be.

The problem is, is that the ineffciencies are put into place by politicians, and well...the politicians run the show now, don't they? It is in their best interest to keep the pork system alive and well, and for as long as that is the case, we're pretty much all screwed.
