Another $80 Billion…
On the way to work this morning, we heard that the administration plans to ask for another $80 billion to ‘fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan’ this year. Oh, and $1.5 billion or so to build a new embassy in Iraq, which for that kind of money had better be made of gold and have chocolate rivers running through it… Seriously though, how frustrating is that to know that money that’s needed for healthcare/education/infrastructure here in the US is being used to build an overly extravagant embassy in an occupied country?
Thats on top of the initial $75 billion and the $25 billion supplemental that was requested barely nine months ago.
Almost $200 billion in just under two years, nearly 1500 US troops, tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians… The costs will just keep rising because we’re too bone headed to admit the war was wrong.
Dan, your objection to reckless administration spending undermines the troops. Your rational thought poses a danger to our 51 percent “mandate”. Please stop questioning the president. You’re putting your neighbors’ lives at risk you un-American, terrorist-loving liberal lefty radical pinko elitest!!!
Yeah, don’t you remember, Dan? The Republican Party is the party of fiscal responsibility.

Thanks for your time!
Your mindless insights annoy me. You do not need to think for yourselves.
War is good. Money for war is good.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.
