    Last time I saw the numbers, I believe the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, combined, cost less than 50% of the money spent on the social economic programs this Administration is passing.

    the iraq war has cost us a little over a trillion dollars as to where the social economic programs have cost us over 14 trillion dollars and climbing at an alarming rate.

    if someone does not call the fire department soon we're gonna burn our country down to the ground.

    Iraq has cost at least 2 trillion in total dollars.

    We could have paid for TARP and the stimulus with that money, plus a large chunk of health care reform over TEN YEARS.

    What difference does it make the iraq war was fought to keep this country safe. The social programs and welfare funds are taken from people who have worked hard to earn it and then given to people who do hardly anything. As far as i'm concerned i would rather fight and die for my country then see it slip into socialism.
