What Are You Paying for the War?
Mark Leon Goldberg at 5/16/2008 10:43AM
Our friends at the Center for American Progress are seemingly trying to foment a taxpayer revolt against the war in Iraq. In a nifty new interactive graphic, users can scroll over their home state to see their burden of a $5 billion a month expense in Iraq. My homestate of connecticut for example, has ponied up a whopping $12,843,364,730 so far. That's amounts to about $3,700 per resident of the Nutmeg state.
Spending that kind of cash does not come without its trade-offs. To see what else could be done with the $520 billion we have already spent, check out the National Priorities Project.
YES! IT IS TOO MUCH WHAT TAXPAYERS ARE ASKED TO PAY FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM BY THE CRIMINAL POLITICAL MAFIA WHO FEELS NO PAIN FOR TAXPAYERS BECAUSE THEY INVENTED ONE OF THE WAYS HOW TO GET ALL THE MONEY THEY WANT AND THAT IS THE TAXES FOR AIR TRAVELERS OVERSEAS. JUST FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY GET FROM MILLIONS OF TRAVELERS AT ABOUT $200, AND MORE, PLUS FOR FUEL SURCHARGES?
BLOODY POLITICANS GO FOR FREE! THEIR CONTRIBUTION FOR THE FIGHT AGAINS TERRORISM IS $0! AND ALL THAT MONEY GOES TO FIGHT NEEDLESS WARS IN MANY COUNTRIES IN SAME TIME. ABSOLUTLY CRAZY WAY TO DO IT!...
as long as israel exists, there will always be terrorism
We do not need any war but peace for development.The challenges of terrorims are that its both criminal and human rights violations.The global leader need to search of realistic solution,capacity building,democracy,good governance and rule of law.There is neend to strenghten the capacity of the security sector reforms,building the capacity of the local police to keep law and ordeer while charge with responsibilities to investigate crimes.There is need to bring the perpetrator to records and international prosecution,provide strategy of reducing corruption and fire arm embergo,\DDR programme to be strenghten,building institution of legal aid for training will support both governments,civil society,private/public sector to bring peacefull settlement.
Thank you,
