Spending more on Iraq and Afghanistan...

So much need here yet the MIC grinds on.

1. At $2 billion dollars a week, Afghainstan represents over 10% of our one trillion dollar
military budget.

3. As I recall most Americans wanted those wars. Some were actually giddy about going to war
They sat in front of their TV sets and just about had an orgasm watching Shock and Awe live from Baghdad.

Fucking idiots.

4. As our infrastructure
literally crumbles before our eyes, our educational system produces adults who can't identify Missouri, France or Iraq on a map, you have to actively hunt to find anything actually manufactured in the U.S.A, and homeless American children go to bed hungry. But let's throw more mega-billions and trillions down the blackholes of Iraq and Afghanistan so that the military/industrial/oil complex is kept humming.
