More US dollars are lost to corruption in Iraq than to Welfare and Medicare fraud COMBINED
Iraq was just rated the third most corrupt country in the world, which begs the question — why are we still pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into its failed and corrupt government?

I know.. but what is more amazing is the small amount of money spent on welfare and medicare that propaganda has everybody believing is SO MUCH!!!
Only 1.76 million ppl out of 300 million Americans are currently receiving welfare.

Why do you think I'm voting for Ron Paul?
Get us out of Iraq, spend the money on taking care of Americans first.

More dollars? Medicare and Medicaid cost around $666 billion a year. Much higher than the Iraq war cost per year.
Either way, we destroyed their country with bombs. They do not have a working market economy like we do here. It might necessitate aid more than the American conditions.

Alot of it is going to contractors. Each contractor will subcontract their work to somebody else and then just take a cut without actually doing much work.
