350 billion and going...

[Donkey®]

So does it bother anyone we have spent 350 billion on this useless war while we're left to sit here and bicker on how to get the national debt down?


Zee News - Iraq war has cost the US USD 350 bn

And countless millions of that $350,000,000,000 simply have been "lost"
to bad accounting and corruption.

Is there anyone who would *not* say we could use that money?

<chirp....... chirp>

I didn't think so. My question is why do we need 350 billion threads on the subject?

That's what happens when you have an overwhelming majority in both congress and the executive.. no oversight.

for the haves and have mores.

I didn't know you owned this forum or owned the title of "thread police." Here's an option: Don't come in the thread if you don't want to. Thanks.

Like a poison on the tip of the knife. So does anyone have the amount of that 350 that Halliburton got?

I wonder if the approval of those $350B would pass through Congress as easily if they were requested for something in the US or would it go through tons of debate & filibustering before a fraction is finally approved. Go USA.

It will more tha likely be over in two years or less. The only serious threat to the long term economic health in this country is "out of control" entilement spending.

It has no end and just expands.........
