Did they need a check? I can write one for $10K right now so my family is paying it's fair share. *ROLLEYES*
This war hasn't cost me one d@mn dime. How about you?
What would be the cost if terrorist took out New York, LA or Chicago? What would be the cost if they disrupted 30% of the world oil supply. Dems put that in your bong and smoke it!
Well, the Dems do have a point, however I’d suggest applying the same cost analysis to their proposed spending programs and see how theirs’ fairs.
Even if true, it’s still a bargain at twice the price. What price can be put on a nation’s security and well being? How much will it cost us when we let down our guard and are attacked again? What was the cost to the nation from 911, both to the private economy and in terms of government expenditures?
“attempted to put a price tag on the two conflicts, including ‘hidden’ costs such as interest payments on the money borrowed to pay for the wars, lost investment, the expense of long-term health care for injured veterans and the cost of oil market disruptions.”
Why not include the slew of Hollywood anti-war box office bombs and their own silly anti-Bush ad campaigns?
You really think the war hasn’t cost you a dime? That’s delusional.
War does cost money. And while I have no idea in the world whether this estimate of the cost is right, you can be absolutely sure it’s going to cost a WHOLE lot more than any politician is willing to tell you — although they also most certainly have no idea in the world how much it WILL cost.
Headline? “1,600 bills laden with pork averaging one billion dollars each, five-year total. ‘About typical,’ says Capital Hill.”
The cost of LBJ’s Great Society (read “welfare) is about 11 trillion $ since 1964 and still on the increase. Are the Dimocratz trying to scuttle that? If so, why not. At least there is a payout for the $ invested in Iraq.
What is it worth to have Libya renounce and relinquish its nuclear program? What is it worth to depose and execute one of the world’s worst tyrants bent on building all types of WMDs? What is it worth to help begin nudging the Islamic world toward the 21st century?
WOW!
That’s almost as much as Hillary has offered to pander away in her first weeks in office!!!
The best part of this is that it shows that the rat has no understanding of his relative position. He is rolling down an 11% approval rating hill and has not come to a stop yet. Yes, stunts and talks like this are good signs for next year. I like our chances.
