Federal budget = $3 trillion a year

Fighting and killing our enemies = $180 million a year

A drop in the bucket and money well spent.

Federal budget = $3 trillion a year

Federal revenues = 2.8 trillion a year



Difference = $ 200,000,000,000 a year ....

... that's a big problem.

And I suppose you pay $1000 for those $1 lottery tickets, too, eh?

BILLION a month. The war is $10,000 per American family (predominantly for Iraq).

I guarantee that FReepers would be going NUTS if Clintoon had claimed a war was going to cost us less than $100 and it went to $10,000, and was against a country that had been keeping radical Islam in check, etc. I'm not saying the war was unjustified, but I do think that any honest FReeper would admit that there would have been outrage against Clinton for this sort of mismanagement of the situation.
