The Cost of WAR
 

I don't get it. Why are we so eager to argue against paying for somebody else's health but we have no problem with paying for their death?

This is scary and depressing. Every American should see this!

who said we have no problem paying for it? its just in this particular case, no one asked us first. :mad:

Yawn. I pay for a whole bunch of things with my taxes that I don't want to.

Yeah this is one of those facts that makes me wonder why the hell we are there.

If we won the cold war by bankrupting the Soviet Union through the costly arms race - I wonder if the terrorists are now doing the same to us. No need to fly planes into buildings, Uncle Sam will just keep funneling bodies and dollars into the battlefield where they can be wasted at their leisure.

At least if we were cold and imperialistic about our intentions we could just seize the oil fields and let the populace be damned until we were through with them.

Bah

Funny- I don't see you yawn quite so much when the subject is welfare and the like. ;)

But do they involve war? Seeing that ticker really brings it home. I'm just as mad about the war on drugs, which does some pretty horrible things too. Just did a quick search - Here's another clock.

In both cases, you know that there's some good being done with the cash - but much of it is for something I deem pretty stupid and horrible. Such is life...

Here is another clock that really pisses me off. All I can say is, the Pope better have his sh*t together cause I am not looking forward to the alternative.

Exactly. Such is government.
