Did you realize that the war in Iraq costs us $2 Billion Dollars a Week?
The Whole Persian Gulf War only cost us $8 Billion Dollars. Primarily because other countries that were part of the coalition footed over 80% of the cost. By going it alone in Iraq, we are paying this hefty price by ourselves.....
Just heard this on National Public Radio

It is another sad comentary on an arrogant and idiotic choice made by this government. They have not only made things much much worse for our country, they are proud of having done it.

"Immigration" isn't illegal.... so let's drop the bs 'pc' and call a duck, a duck. If someone is in the US illegally they are a criminal. So in addition to all the items listed above involving criminals who are here in the US illegally and abusing and exploiting our assistance programs, you could also include those who are currently housed in our federal and state prison systems. Do the math on that and see what you think.

Yes, but $1+ billions are going into the bank account of Halliburten and Cheney
Contractors bill the US goverment $600/day for a worker but only pays the Iraqis $10/day.
Imagine 10,000 Iraqi workers
10,000 X $600 = $6,000,000
while they are only paying
10,000 X $10 = $100,000

Its not the best way to waste China's debt of 8 trillion dollars is it?

but US corporations are making billions, too, so Bush and his cohorts should be happy. what do they care if the average US citizen (and his children) are paying for the war with taxes and lives?

It bothers me more about the loss of our young men and women.
Everytime I hear of another death, I just want to cry.
