How much could the money we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan of bought us or solved for us.
My list includes
1) Paid health care for the uninsured 2) Social Security and Medicare trust fund solution for another generation 3) Extended unemployment benefits 4) Job retraining for the unemployed 5) Infrastructure repair 6) High Speed rail construction
Lets see....have I even reached half of what we spent?
We could have spent money on our energy problem. Instead, our dependence on Middle East oil is harming our economy and our future viability as an economic and military power--which is pretty ironic.
