[Dialogue] Quick video on cost of one day of Iraq war

[Jim Baumbach]

Thanks for the video reference.  However, in order to use the URL two 
spaces have to be removed from the listing you show.  Then it will take 
you to the site.

The video makes a very good point about wasting such vast sums of 
money.  However, if you have any discussions with right wingers, you 
will quickly discover that money spent on killing people in foreign 
lands is infinitely better than using it for "socialistic" frivolousness 
in a nation of strong capitalism.  Entitlement programs are their 
greatest fear followed by tax dollars spent on health care and education 
for those in poverty.

The money being spent on illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is not our 
"tax" dollars it is money borrowed from China and other countries who 
are buying up US bonds and property.  (When it comes time to pay up, 
then it will be a heavy tax burden on someone else, hopefully all those 
"illegal immigrants" who are stealing American jobs.)  But in the 
meantime, taxes on the corporations and supremely rich must be lowered 
in order to "stimulate" the economy.  Sound convoluted?  It is, but this 
is the whine, cry and sob song of the powerful and rich and Right.
