What We Could Have Done With the Money in Iraq

[ac4three]

Staggering.

It could give every high school student in the United States a free college education.

I've been telling the few people I talk toabout this for years that we could be paying for reparations to the descendants of slaves in the U.S. instead and do a better job of:

• spreading our form of democracy
• improving our image around the world
• keeping us safe

Unfortunately, it's easier to lie, deceive, and convince people that invading and rebuilding a country servesus better than helping our fellow Americans.

I wonder how much it will be if McCain wins and continues with his plan to pull out until the U.S. wins the war "with honor"

Who needs education when you can have war?

Money well spent.

respectfully of course, how do you suppose we determine who are the descendants of slaves? and how many generations do you wanna go before youstop? i mean every single member of every family who may have had an ancestor who was a slave gets 1,000 bones? sorry but that will do nothing in my eyes tohelp this world ... now giving everyone a college education would be nice

 

[dirtylicious]

the problem with all these "what we could have done scenarios" is that we would STILL have to borrow the money that we spent on the war....so all theeconomic woes that resulted from the overspending b/c of the would still occur..

but...I'd hesitatingly agree...

borrow for the good of the US population > borrow for war

Thank you for posting this. It is absolutely disgusting what this government has done to this country. Do you know how many people in desperate need could behelped with just a couple hundred dollars - let alone thousands, millions, billions.

But no, this government (mainly Bush) have pushed us back decades with just 8 years. Shame on the electoral college.

There aint a cuss word strong enough 2 accurately render my feelings on the situation.

 

[lurkin2long]
