War: Bush’s Billions, and Billions and Billions!

For the war games the following year, spring to spring (2008-2009), it will cost American taxpayers $178-billion dollars, making the total almost one Trillion-dollars for the two wars we got going on, since 2001, in the Middle East. There is something wrong here… $178-billion dollars, what can we do with that money back home? First we could pay off our debts; restore the dollar, help people with heat issues this coming winter, help them with gas issues this summer. Help feed the old, and restore Social Security to a ripe old system to what it used to be. So many things we can do, but we are throwing it away on a dead horse. The oil rich countries do not care about their brothers, why do we? Democracy is an over used ward over there, and used quite a lot by the rich here in America, trying to get their hands on those contracts (to rebuild a country we destroyed by our bombs, and now feel we got to bring air conditioners and everything under the sun to appease them for our victories), these contracts, go through Washington D.C., from all over the world—hand picked by our elected—they can smell the money from the UN to the EU, to and through China, all wanted a share of the bottomless war bank. Yes, in war time, the rich get richer, it is a Republican play, and at the end, everyone gets a share of the goodies, except the taxpaying poor and middle class, and the soldiers doing the dying for what? –Democracy? Come on now, we all know better, tell that to the dying. How about our national security? I doubt it has a once of truth to that anymore. With that kind of money going out, we can build a better security system for Americans back home. Whoever passes these out of whack bills, I hope you remember them, on Election Day. No wonder nobody wants our money, it’s becoming no better than toilet paper, even Peru they are avoiding using it for business transactions nowadays, although you can still buy a hamburger or so with it.
