12. $801 Billion a year for wars, -0- for health care reform
The military budget for 2009 (not including Iraq and Afghanistan) is $651 BILLION, up 11% from 2008.

We are spending (on the books, God knows how much "Black Budget") $150 BILLION a year for 2 wars where they don't want us to be.

That's $801 BILLION a year.

Military manufacturing is now 123% higher than in 2000.

Tell us Mr. Baccus, why we can't afford health care reform.

Never mind, we already know.
