Take a guess where most of that money is going to?

I heard a statistic on NPR today that said if you count all of the other costs of the war - replacement and maintenance costs, taking care of veterans afterward, etc., it's actually a lot closer to $25 Billion a month.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend. Let's give it some perspective:
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive (or so they say).
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no one on earth walked on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes ago at the rate the government is spending it.
The war in Iraq aside, consider this:
Louisiana Senator, Mary Landreiu, is presently asking the U.S. Congress for $250 million to rebuild New Orleans. Interesting number...what does it mean?
A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman and child) you each get $516,528.
B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets $1,329,787.
C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.
Politicians are out-of-control and have completely lost touch with all sense of reality.

the US has already stolen more oil in Iraq than Saddam did in the food for oil program. But somehow I doubt any of that is actually pying for the war, probably just lining Bush's friends pockets

No, the cost of rebuilding N.O. is not just 188K homes, there are businesses, parks, schools, hospitals, roads, infrastructure, etc. etc. so not only are the numbers wrong, but are entirely misleading.
In any event, I wonder how the people of N.O. like hearing how their gov't is spending BILLIONS a month rebuilding Iraq, while they are still homeless. Shows you what Bush really thinks about the "American People". Fucking disgraceful and deserving of a large-scale mutiny ....

There are over 500 construction companies doing work in Iraq right now and somehow you have inside info saying that MOST of the money is going to Halliburton and KBR?
Lazy companies, you must be really uneducated or just ignorant to say they are lazy.
Clean water has been an issue over there since day 1, clean water is an issue here in the US still today...so whats your point?
So your a Ron Paul Supporter but yet you just said you would be ok with a Bolshevik Social-Democratic style of government? If so your supporting the wrong person in Ron Paul, that style of government goes against everything Ron Paul represents.
Looks like your seriously uneducated on issues and people you support or your just dumb....im thinking its both.

That's actually $515.81 per citizen, not $516k like you stated.

You just dont get it. Read what I wrote. "IF we are going to foot the bill" I will break it down for ya. If I got to pay for your shitty war, and line your pockets at the same time, they might as well give us some kind of services.
FYI i held above 3.5 throughout my higher education. Far from uneducated.

We want Old School back. New education system is the problem.
Another dumb troll makes his way into my thread. I am far from a college boy seeing as I served in Panama, then Bosnia, while earing 6 bars and never recieving even close to an article 15. Ive been stationed all over the world, ft drum, ft stewart, Aberdeen proving grounds, rhein main, Camp Bedrock, as well as many places I would love to forget. Its much more likely that you never served your country, have never been out of your mothers basement, are a life long member of the D & D club, while holding the title of dungeon master, so STFU loser.

the way the government hides spending in other projects I bet its a lot more then that
The war was funded primarily out of "emergency" appropriations. It was difficult for Joseph Stiglitz (a nobel prize winning economists) to find these appropriations when he was trying to accurately calculate the cost of the war. He had to use the Freedom of Information act to get access to the information.
Also, the true cost of the war isn't just the cost of operations in Iraq. For example, the health care and disability of wounded soldiers needs to be included in the cost. His work shows the cost of the war to be $3 trillion dollars.

I read what you wrote and clearly understood it the first time. If your for 12 Billion a month going into government funded social programs then your not a Ron Paul supporter. Nor are you educated on the beliefs of different political parties and what they represent. And by you saying "If we are going to foot the bill" makes no sence when we already footing the bill.
And who is this "Your" you keep making reference to when you say "your shitty war" and "line your pockets"? I dont care about any 3.5 GPA and your higher education. But when it comes to you having common sence and/or understanding politics your pretty uneducated on all the issues.

Just because one supports a particular candidate does not and should not mean that you agree with every stance he has. Or didnt you get the memo?
