1. Welcome to DU, callady!

And thanks for the sobering news.

2. All that money , death and destruction for nothing but corporate

greed and political election purposes.

3. $65 billion on education.

Kids? They can shoot good so don't really need an education. Iraqi oil fields need to be protected now, not 10 years from now!

4. And all the while...

Financial aid for college is cut, health insurance programs for uninsured kids get pummeled, job training programs are slashed, and so on and so on.
Clearly we live in a country with its priorities straight.

5. Yes--and beyond the dollar
