You senators & congressmen want to save our economy? End bush's goddamned wars!

[Philosoraptor]

How much are bush's endless wars dragging down our nation's economy? Is this a silly question? No one seems to talk about bush's endless wars anymore, maybe if we brought our troops home from hell it MIGHT save us a few bucks in the long run? Or is this just a silly, philosophical question?

In my silly opinion, we should end bush's wars, bring home our troops, let them get into the work force, and work on our infrastructure. Bring our jobs home too, I'd rather talk to a lady in Omaha than in India when I have a tech problem. And let's make our own stuff, here at home, for good wages, and let's pay off our debts, and basically erase all the stains from the bush years.

But seriously, are bush's endless wars actually CAUSING our economic meltdown? I know the boundless greed of the ruling class is a major factor, but bush and cheney's wars are draining away money like Niagara Falls, not to mention the unimaginable human misery and suffering.

1. I'm sure airlifting tons of $100 bills

into Baghdad and then handing them out in duffle bags without receipts didn't exactly help.

3. it isnt a silly opinion

its a fact. and its the white elephant in the living room that the politicians wont acknowledge. those 2 goddamned wars are whats bankrupting this country. end them, and change will happen.

4. Maybe if the US shrinks its war dept enough, some stupid country could

take over our debt by invading us. At least maybe a chance to free up the grandchildren from debt slavery already imposed.

Don't think there would be any takers, so why continue to spend so much on the military to help business empires when there really is little threat? Interpol could handle the extremist violence.

We'd be way better off spending our debt money on sustainable and friendly-peaceful endeavors. Or way ahead not to borrow it in the first place. Pay as you go is the sensible ticket.

5. Both parties seem to want to carry on and we only have two parties

in our system of government. I still hold out faint hope we can withdraw alot from Iraq though the dems want the imperial footprint to remain.
