Did you know that the Us has spent over 310 BILLION TAX DOLLARS funding the war in Irag?

Question

This amazes me because that is a lot of money...

Answer 1

It is truly shameful isn't it? And five years later there is still a big hole where the towers used to stand proud as part of the skyline of Manhattan. A year later our own southern states look very much like they did the day that Katrina swept through.
What has this 310 Billion $$ gained us. Are we any more secure than we were before we invaded Iraq? If it is working then why did 66 people die today in Iraq? The deadliest single day since the war began.
That is way too much money. It equates to a hair over $1,000 for every man, woman, and child in the United States right now. I want my money back.

Answer 2

Would you rather we have spent $310 billion on cleaning up after more attacks like 9/11?
It never ceases to amaze me that people can't see the need to fight the terrorists where they live, instead of where WE live!

Answer 3

And that's why I don't believe that USA wages war against Mid East countries for their oil. Because if oil is the only reason for the war, then, there's no need for war, because it's more practical for USA to buy 310 billion dollars worth of oil directly from any oil-exporting country.

Answer 4

the reason to bypass to conflict became to guard the country. I understand you will possibly no longer believe that. yet that became the reason, top or incorrect. that's a job for the federal government. offering well being care isn't. Now you could say that that's and we would desire to continuously do it and what no longer. and you could properly be top. yet right now we spend as lots on socialized med. as maximum eu international places do and don't insure nearly all of our inhabitants. And we lose funds at it. to socialise, maximum individuals might might desire to settle for a decrease widely used or care, and settle for that we are able to have much less progression in new cares.

Answer 5

Yes, and the government is so busy with the unimportant stuff. The TV news covering Tom Cruise's contract problems and his jumping on tv talk show furnature. And I'm concerned about the Red Sox doing so poorly.

Answer 6

Answer 8

i dont think many people do, they're mostly debating what to do about gays getting married, or about illegal immigrants, they blame everything on those two groups mainly, and fail to see that everything is bad because of the war.

Answer 9
