What should we do with the money being spent in Iraq?

Question

A lot of the candidates at last nights democratic debate said we should stop the war and use that money to help African countries. Aren't there things right here at home we take care of first?

Answer 1

you can't get the money back after it is spent. We should stop all funding for other countries for at least 2 years and take care of our own with the billions we throw away in other countries like Africa.

Answer 2

you get an a. democrats are about feel good clintonesque type politics. reality rarely enters into it. my advice to you is ignore them all and if your truly concerned about where this country is going vote conservative so that you can control more of your own money and make those types of decisions yourself. pelosi and anderson sent you a chilling quote after the regime was elected essentially that we have no choice but to raise taxes. the worst is yet to come, trust me.

Answer 3

I think you could spend the money on helping the People in Louisianna who are still without homes after Katrina. You could also help those in Lake Tahoe who have lost their homes to the wildfires as well.

Answer 4

you are absolutely right! If we decide to cut and run from Iraq and ignore the threat of the Islamo Fascists we will need that money to build new mosques and prayer rugs when they come over here and the libs give them the keys to our cities if they won't hurt them.

Answer 5

No, we gotta finish up Iraq first, same war in Africa just a different front. Us Americans can take care of ourselves, we don't need the government to help us, just protect us.

Answer 6

Apparently Africa is having problems with the radical Muslims. sound familiar? What makes their problem any better or worse than the middle east? Appears to be pandering in my estimation.

Answer 7

There would not be any savings of money. The military still has to be paid. Equipment has to be replaced. Ammo still has to be used, even if in training.
