Too Much Money!
Too much money . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I cannot accept this anymore. "King George" is asking for $70 Billion more to continue to fund "The War Against Terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This would bring the total war bill to $875 Billion.
Gee, I wonder what this money could have done if we had spent it on our needs, here at home in the United States? I wonder how many lives would have been spared if we hadn't 'gone to war.'
How much did we spend on World War II? The Korean War? The Vietnam War?
How much money is the 'Military Industrial Complex' making off of this conflict?
But, most important, how many lives are being impacted by this quagmire we are embroiled in:
> The families of the troops.
> The Loved Ones of the Heroes killed.
> The war wounded, because their lives have been changed forever.
> The homeless, because there isn't enough funding.
> The elderly, because there isn't enough funding.
> The ill, because there isn't enough funding.
> The illiterate, because there isn't enough funding.
> The hungry, because there isn't enough funding.
> The jobless, because there isn't enough funding.
> The infrastructure, because there isn't enough funding.
> The Economy, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ENOUGH MONEY!
Not enough money is being spent where it should be!
