For the money we've *wasted* on the military in Iraq, we could have
rebuilt New Orleans, fixed the levees for real, made many needed
infrastructure improvements all over the United States, provided more
funding for S-CHIP, and sent thousands of needy students to college.

The worst thing this country has done since 1945 is waste so much of its
precious resources on the military. We could have done just as well with
much less. Might have kept us out of Vietnam, might have kept us out of
Iraq.

Spending unnecessary money on the military is worse than pouring it down
the drain.

My personal opinion is that a special 'war tax' should be applied when a
president wants to go to war.
It would be a pay as you go situation...not downloading the costs on future
generations by adding to the national debt.

Isn't the military one of the biggest single employers in the US? What do
you think our economy would look like if it wasn't there?

In the US, that's basically how the personal Federal income tax started in
WWII. Before 1943 very few people paid an income tax (3 percent of the
population) and there was no employee withholding tax.

Please don't give our politicians another tax idea until they get rid of
some of the existing ones.

Two rational posts in a row

What is Rec.Boats coming to ;-)

I agree Harry, 2 trillion and counting, would have solved a lot of
problems here in the US although I still wouldn't like the idea that
it was all borrowed money.
Bowwowing money to pour down a rat hole in Iraq is simply
unconscionable.



It's part of the Communist conspiracy to bury us. But this time in debt.

Further, if we want to give our military something useful to do, modify
the laws a bit and put 'em to work on the borders...of the USA. Most
Americans would be glad to see U.S. solders, marines, whatevers, on our
borders, keeping illegals and terrorist wanna be's out.

We went into Iraq because Bush was dying in the polls, of course, and
his neoncon puppetmasters thought a bit of warmongering would help him.

You forgot to tell us why Clinton was in, around and over (bombing the
**** out of) Iraq for 8 years. ... WMDs?
Was Clinton's threat to invade Iraq in 1998 just bull****?
This is a 16 year old war and THREE presidents share the blame
That is why Bush, Clinton, Bush ... Clinton will not change our
position in Iraq one iota.
If you really want an end to the war Democrats have Kucinich and maybe
Obama.
The Republicans have Ron Paul.
Everyone else seems committed to spend our last dime and sacrifice our
last soldier to give the Iraqis democracy whether they want it or not.
Pretty dismal huh?



Compare the costs in lost U.S. lives and dollars to what Clinton did in
his term to the costs in lives and dollars with what Bush has done. In
the end, Bush's naive "nation-building" in Iraq will be just another one
of his many, many failures.

I like Dennis, but not as a president. His heart is in the right place,
but he has zip "leadership" promise. He does have a hot wife, though.

Ron Paul is a lunatic.

I'm hoping the Republicans nominate Huckabee. He'll lose the general
election in grand style, and the Republicans will then have an excuse to
dump the evangelicals out on their asses, where they belong.

that Bush's favorable poll numbers soared.
