This is the amount of money the US has allocated for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to be spent by September 30, 2006, the end of the fiscal year. And the Senate is working on a spending bill that will add another $50 billion more in spending for 2007.
This pile is 125 feet wide, 200 feet deep, and 450 feet tall.
450 feet is the height of a 38-story building. It's the hieght of the Millenium Wheel in London. It is also the height of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas and the Louisiana State Capitol Building.
If you were to stack the money in a single stack, your stack would be 19,887 miles tall, enough to wrap the Moon at its equator almost 3 times.
What would we do with all this money if we weren't getting revenge on a small group of people for killing an even smaller group of people? Probably spending it on something stupid like health coverage for every last American.

"Don't spend money deterring terrorist from killing us all and seeking justice, just let them do it. While we're at it lets tax the shit out of people whrk hard for their money and just give it all to the poor and jobless in the form of health care."
You want to cut spending? Kill the well fair programs that bleed money, make the prison system more effective, suspend Nasa programs for a few years, and cut the money we pay elected officials in half and make them pay for their own supplies, food, and health care. National Debt solved.

Welfare should either be killed, or be made more scam proof.
Half of the town I life in have a parent who lives off the welfare checks, because they "fell" and twisted their ankle making them unable trk normally again.

I know right? When they took out two buildings, they were ridiculously close to destroying America in its entirety. The damage they did and could possibly do can't hardly be compared to the countless billions spent on stopping them. I mean, look how much we've achieved with this war! Mission Accomplished!
Our tax dollars shouldn't be taken from everyone and given to the poor. They should be taken from everyone and given to our troops so that they can die effectively.

I don't think it should end, and people like the ones you are describing should be punished.

Lear2count 3 building. Two held thousands of people, the other was sort of running a large part of the government. I suppose if you just look at building the war isn't warranted but hey not like people matter, not like security is important. They we're pretty much capable of doing any thing imaginable, we seized a shit ton of money and assets from them that might otherwise have gone to bombs and larger scale attacks. But you'd apparently rather wait till the world is burning to do any thing than try and prevent it ahead of time. Obviously it more effective to for civilians to be killed off guard and unaware in mass so you can give hobos shoes rather than send trained soldiers to deal with the problem with half the casualties. No one want the troops to die and the body count on our end is hardly that bad considering the kind of war and length.
You want to save money on the war? Lets convert the whole country to war mode like we did in WII and have all the supplies made at home and purchased by the government with our tax dollars thus stimulating the economy and making jobs.
But that would be logical! If conservatives did things the logical way, they'd have nothing to be pissed off about all the time.
Logical would be something like everyone is responsible for themselves, not "Well I'm a fuck up and don't want trk and you should pay for me to have stuff".
I b4 calling out coffincase's daddy is a rich man and doesn't know what it's like to be poor.
Oh wait... I see what I did there.
No but in all honesty wellfare does piss me off since it's being a abused hardcore. I think people who just use cause they got to feed their keeeids but spend all their money on shoes and shit should have it taken away. I can understand for single mothers who are out working their ass off every day. My mom did that when I was a kid, we had food stamps for a while but other than that nothing else. Lol at having only one pair of clothes and no toys on christmas or birthdays. Lol
Anyways, the war is fucking stupid and a waste of money. Seriously, it will never end because there was no reason for it in the first place. We've set out to do what we came there to do. We took down saddam hussein, all that's left is "osama bin laden" but we're not going to find him. It's not our responsibility to fix a country that was already in shambles.
Lol @ Hardcore republicans and their christian values.

How about Coffin doesn't see why when he works his ass off he loses money.
How about Coffin owns stock and has to pay a shit ton of money on money Coffin doesn't really have.
How about Obama care is f'in taxing my scholarship money so that I might end up not going to school but you'll have forced health care on me so I can live longer as a poor man.
How about you and all the other liberals go smoke some weed on a island naked and stop raising my taxes.

In b4 baw please.
Also for the record I'm not a liberal, and I've never even tried smoking weed.
Aw scholarship money? Baw why not have your poppy pay for it? Besides why should I have to pay for your ass to go to school? Scholarships come from many different things including government taxes. So if you don't want to pay for everyone's health care, then why the hell should I pay for your education?

Because even if my father had the money, I would not take it and he would not give it to me. We believe in responsibility and accountability.
I get my scholarship money based on academic merit from a private fund, some one has chosen freely to give money so that people that want to learn get the chance. See the key point of that whole thing being they chose to give their money and who it went to, they didn't have it forced from their hand and give to joe shmo. SO you don't pay for me, nor should you have too. Nor am I getting a free ride, I have to go trk and make money so I can go to school.
What did I just fucking say about drama threads? Enough drama, and I dont care what side you are fucking on, if you contribute, you are causing drama, and feeding the fire. Stop this shit, or the next fucker that does, is not going to like me very much, call whatever you want, drama threads cause drama which lead to flaming.
Last fucking warning.
