What could America have done with the billions of $ spent on Iraq war?

Rebuild out cities after they were all blown up by Islamofacists!

1. Eliminated Hunger - Corrupt governments that stifle freedom and economic growth cause hunger, not lack of handouts (that end up propping up the corrupt regime)

2. Eliminated homelessness - Crack heads are always going to be crack heads no matter how much money you throw at them.

3. Eliminated violent street gangs or all gangs - Again crack heads.....

4. Deport thousands of illegal immigrants from south of the border (no offense) - They'll all be back within a week.

Typical Liberal, thinking with your heart and not your head. Do you really think throwing a welfare safety net over all of our problems is a good way to change peoples behavior.?People uplift themselves when they choose to do so (and are free to do so). Giving them incentives not to do so just ends up making them dependent on the bloated government bureaucracy and, in the long run, makes people do just enough to get by.

This conflict alongside with each conflict that our military (the ideal interior the worldwide) have fought, have continuously been fought with the point of prevailing. it quite is people such as you who are not helping the conflict attempt and announcing the conflict is already lost that are negatively affecting our troops. i do no longer see what's humorous approximately God fearing Christians struggling with the conflict, nor do I see what you advise approximately them making God their platform concern. The conflict in Iraq is being fought so as that the individuals of Iraq may be free of oppression and luxuriate interior the comparable freedoms we've enjoyed. If this in simple terms so occurs to be some thing a Christian guy or woman could desire for others, what's incorrect with that?

It was relevant in 1961 and it still applies today.

Making sure that everyone had free medical and prescriptions. Having a health problem in the most powerful and richest country in the world and you cant get it in the US. People should not have to choose rather to eat that month or pay for you medicine.

They could have spent it re-building America after it got demolished because terrorists attacked us since we didn't feel that our lives were worth any effort or sacrifice.

Luckily we spent the money.

They would not have spend that money on anything you listed above so do not worry about it. Quit being a close minded liberal and look at some of the good things that are happening over there.

That money is a drop in the bucket to the 10s of trillions we spend here. If you truly think our government is capable of making good decisions with tax money you are gravely mistaken.

hey if they did resolve that problem overpopulation woulda gotten worse :X

yeah the war is bad and all but im more scared of when every1 in the world gets screwed because of the lack of resources to feed this overpopulation.

We borrowed that money from China. If we told China that's how we intended to spend it, they might not have given it to us. The money is not completely ours, so talking about it as if we could have spend it elsewhere is moot.

Actually nothing,,,,,the government has borrowed every penny......so...if republicans call deomocrat "Tax and spenders", does this make republicans "Borrow and spenders"?

Hey dipstick...we spend $480 BILLION a YEAR in foregin aide, try to cut that and use it for what you suggest!
