Costs of our Iraq "intervention" extrapolated to more than $3 Trillion, counting veteran care that would last for decades. And that was before we started the wind-down. I don't think it was calculated from Operation Desert Storm (1990) onward, even though it should have been. Add Afghanistan, and now Libya, and you tell us what these WARS are costing us.Originally Posted by Loki
Notice I didn't say trillions per year, professor Loki. But in principle, explain to the American public tax payer why it's better to spend so much more off shore, than it is to invest in our own country and its people. If we're supposed to be this huge superpower and global cop, how can we do that while starving our own citizens?
In the event of an emergency, apply your own oxygen mask before attempting to help others.
