that is what has been pissing me off so much lately.
americans are gripping about taxes, about unemployment, about stimulus programs, about deficits, about budgets and priority of funding.. But what has not made a SINGLE debate thus far, from either side of any aisle, is fuck the bullshit, why did we spend over $1 TRILLION on a war that quite frankly we lost and are losing, and why do we continue to sink hundreds of billions (probably more) a year on these war(s)?
If we just stopped fucking around out of pride and fear, then we would stopping wasting a decade on lost wars, and we could afford Reaganomics tax schemes (even if they don't ever work
), public health care, frighteningly high incarceration rates, etc etc etc
These have been the first major US wars without a war tax to pay for it, with all the gripping about taxes and government spending, I am thoroughly convinced that Americans would end ALL war(s) in a heart beat, if it cuts into the Cadillac Escalde feria..
