We are spending $2,000,000,000 a month in Iraq. We are doing this while our schools, roads, and bridges go unrepaired. Is it worth it?

Are the paychecks of the soldiers and workers from here coming home to be added into our economic system?
Are the U.S. munitions companies and various suppliers sending all the money they get paid for goods back to Iraq?
I read somewhere a few months ago that approx. 75% of the cost of the war came back to the USA.
So........is all this money wasted?
I heard the same argument years ago when we were sending men to the moon.
The olds folks were saying, "why are we spending all this money on the moon?"
When it was suggested that this money wasn't being spent on the moon, it was being spent right here..........they got a wrinkled forehead................................
How much of that $600 million do you think will come back here?

$600 million is a drop in the bucket.
Just our military pay is over $45 million per day.
worry about collapsing bridges

I didn't even bother voting because the poll is skewed to the way the pollster wants to portray the view!!
Just like 99% of any poll :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Soapweed said:The poll makes about as much sense as the question, "If you were stranded out in the woods, would you rather have (a) a rifle with no bullets, or (b) bullets with no rifle?" :? :roll:
I suppose if you chose the rifle you could use it for a club, or if you chose bullets you could throw them at your intended game. :???: :shock:

I have a solution for that. Just bring our soldiers home and that $45M/day would be cut by about 75% as most of those folks would go back to their civilian job and would only draw 4 days pay a month. Plus they wouldn't shot at!
