I read some where that the cost of the Iraq war is 70 million a day if you do the math then...?

Question

According to the www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html 299,161,274 that’s ~300 million, if you take the number of people who are over 18, gave 1 million dollars each to our citizens, the first to get this money would be veterans, and go from there, then you take some basic requirements such as no felons, druggy, and other dregs of the U.S., also nobody who rich already, this would leave ~140 million people probably less, this one time gift would solve so many problems. Some may say won't work but wouldn't you like a chance to live well. in 2 days of paying for the war you could make millionaires out of so many who would benefit so much better than spending it on war, Drop the bomb and see if the terrorist stop their sh*t.

Answer 1

Of course. Don't pay the druggies! It's only their fault that they're hooked on drugs. Nuts to them.

Answer 2

Your numbers are less than actual cost, In addition to those costs you left out wear and tear on PREVIOUSLY purchased equipment. Tanks, airplanes, humvees, M16A2, body armor, some of this stuff was purchased years ago and is getting worn out and will need to be replaced just like your 4 year old car, Billions more will be needed to replace all the damaged and wornout equipment for years to come, the C130 flights from Kuwait to BIAP twice a day are wearing out those old aircraft

Answer 3

That would never happen. The government is way too fond of money, and the power it creates, to ever give any real amount back to the people. If we dropped the bomb and ended terrorism, the government would just find other ways to spend our money. They always do.

Answer 4

it'll never happen. gov't takes money from the people.....
