$70 Billion dollars

[Casandra]

Here it comes again; a demand for $70 million dollars to continue the farce in Iraq!!! I know this was reported earlier today, but didn't know who on here, has heard about it.

Are we gonna just bend over and take this again??

3. So this year (at the minimum 70 billion)....

we will spend more than the cost to keep 7 million US citizens on a high level of social security (10K or about $830 per month). They'll tell you about the millions of baby boomers about to overwhelm the system but NEVER admit they robbed the funds that should have been invested for their benefit.We payed IN plenty...I was injured at 45,but began paying into the system 31 years before that when I worked after hours at an exclusive high school (as a janitor) on a work/study student with "young worker's" papers in Connecticut...every dime I paid from the very beginning should have doubled several times...I am a poor example since I was hurt-now some people work from 14-15-16 till a minimum of 66 1/2-50 years or more and money that should have been invested is rather "harvested" as a cheap input to the general fund..they lie and they steal-I would love to see an open market analysis of what is payed in and what is taken out...but I doubt that will happen...

6. What they have done with the SS investment money

that we have all been paying into sounds just like Enron to me. Is there a difference?

5. They should use it to rebuild NO instead - especially the levees.

8. That's OK -- they just cut taxes by $70 billion to pay for it...

Isn't that the way it should be done???
