Just sayin...because I'm not hearing it in the corporate media (unless I'm missing something...).

Oh, and these greedy wankers whining about how $500K is "nothing" just makes me want to puke.

1. We've been pissing away $11 bil a month for how many years now?
The numbers are astounding.

5. It's been just about $600,000,000,000 to date.

It would literally have paid the entire health care costs for one of every two people in my county since the day the war began.

Run your own location.
