Boy, am I confused.

I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS. I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.

The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.. Are we THAT stupid?

maybe they need to ship the fat cats in Washington to Iraq and take the illegal aliens with them...

aint this the truth. good post

spend more mone on iraq and less on the illegals
better yet somebody needs to start deporting or somethin.

The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders have even been there. When any of the Washington people go they stay in very protected areas. Only a handfull of them have ever served in the military....

i belive that the war on drugs is just as ridculous if not worst you ever checked it out???
www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm

now theres a waste of money

interesting wonder how long this will go on b 4 there is a stop put to it


war on drugs there is no such thing it is a war on people
]
if people were truly free to make their own choices drugs and other victimless crime would be legal and taxed making them truly victimless

as it is now they have victims those arrested and those that have crimes committed to them by those who traffic and defend their enterprise

stop giving jobs to people outside your borders and you wont have illegals, start holding the big companies that hire undocumented workers (because they can pay them less than what they have to pay Americans) accountable and there wont be a market for undocumented workers..
give Americans decent paying jobs and they wont need welfare, etc..etc..etc..

...jeeze, it aint exactly rocket science is it???

holey habichuelas Batman!

To the bat cave Rudolfo!

Only thing about it this post is not about the ones that don't have jobs that are legal here that are on welfare. It is a shame that the goverment will go after and Employer for hiring illegals but on the other hand will gladly put them on the system knowing they are illegal.

Does this not speak volumes for the system from the top?

Instead they go after the Employer's if it was nipped in the bud from the top does anyone really think they would be so eager to come over to work for lower wages if it was not for the system adding them along?

The Medicare budge for 2008 is $300 billion. The Iraq war budget for the same time is $30 billion.

The Iraq war cost a tenth of what we spend on Health Care for Retirees

its okay...the cia imports cocaine...people need help...there is a reason they came here...chance...and if you cant see that then im sorry you are so blind...but the walls that you want put up will be the wall that keeps us all bound here in 10 years or so

Bush CUT 36 billion from Medicare
the "war" on Iraq could top 2 TRILLION...

I may not be from the US, but I know the difference between Billion and Trillion....

medicare is part of an insurance program that civilians are forced to participate

and way to many people complain about those that get their benefit from the insurance they are forced to buy

fica = federal insurance contribution act

do people complain when they collect on their home owners or auto insurance

i would suggest do not complain about someone getting a small amount of what they have been paying for - for most of their life

it doesnt work to compare annual budgets with total expenditures

I still wish these bastards (and *****) running for President would address this topic!

Hey, don't worry about it! Cheney's favorite defense contractor has already located overseas.

Don't you all get it?

Bush and his cronies let our children die while they got richer and then turned a blind eye when left with the profits.

All in the name of national security.

Why really do anything about it...dazzle them with bull**** and rob them blind while we can.

Forget the fact that there are real bad guys (and girls so as not to be sexist) out there that do wish us harm.

Bush and Company doesn't care about you or I. He doesn't care about the children he killed. We are all pawns. He is rich dispite his personal incompitance.

Meanwhile we pay...

Look what it's cost and consider what we could have done with that money.

We agree on something.

It breaks my heart when I see seniors not being able to afford their medicines and have to order them from Canada.

just for you info...i am not costing you taxpayers any money....i am an illegal alien...but not living in your country....and right now i would have to say...thank god...opps...( is freedom of religious speech allowed)

LoL...Wait till we start imigrating into Canada and draining you Social Funds and economy Captain Kirk..lol
