Too much. It feels more like a war on taxpayers, doesn't it?

The federal government spends about $800 per second on the War on drugs
State and local governments spend a total of about 40 billion a year.
War on Terror statistics have yet to be determined, but i can guarantee it is more.
War on terror I can understand it costing a bunch, but this War on Drugs has had less progress than the War on Poverty that supporters of Drug Wars complain so much about.

i know both bring in a lot of money for the big guys
war on drugs makes sure drugs flow into country...keeps a lot of people employed in courts, dea, justice department, full prison systems,
drugs are cheaper than ever,
and war on terror, what happen to OBL?
The Man In The Cave
yeah what happen to him?
we need him around like the flow of drugs
as long as Osama is recording tapes every now and then Fox and CNN have something to report on, and he restores publics fear of this great evil out to "kill every woman and child" in this peace and freedom loving country, while a mother just stabbed her two children in a public restroom at a convenience store
war on terror is NOT meant to end, it is to make sure ongoing US presence in Mideast and everywhere else where there are long term benefits, oil, trade, money...
US citizens should forget the idea that soldiers are to return home, taxes are being spent to keep oil flowing into our trucks and other nice big cars, and sh** from China into your children's bedrooms,
in other words, it does not matter how much the wars on terror and drugs cost? because it is being printed by the Federal Reserve...
