if our War machine reduced


our govt. would have some money to loan, at a good rate, to cities needing pipe upgrades.

the pentagon Barons don't give a crap if our sewer pipes burst and our pockets are emptied to pay for the repairs.

military Barons are the worst.

1. The MIC is only interested in money. And will do everything to keep it that way.

2. http://costofwar.com count to 5, the US Gov just borrowed >$10k for just the middle eastern wars
60 seconds every minute, 60 minutes every hour, 7 days a week blah blah blah it just goes on
on and on like a nightmare



http://costofwar.com

one day people will ask "How did they let this happen?"

count to 10... There's another >$20,000 and then count to 10 again, there's 40k in 20 seconds.

How much does an average taxpayer pay the feds every year? Gone in seconds. Poof. Get that? Many people worked until April or May to have their gov piss it away in seconds.

It's insanity on display, right here, right now. And here's another 10 seconds, $20k. Gone.

3. Seems like the number of people against the wars has been
reduced considerably since 2009.
