1 Point 2 Million Dollars

$1.2 million the british empire couldn’t do it the soviet union couldn’t do it & now the great big policeman of the world is ready to finally retreat with their tail wagging between their legs all the way home with the tax payers bleeding from inside the domestic walls paying over a million dollars a year for each soldier in Afghanistan. imagine if that 1.2 million spent on one US soldier could be used to propel one homeless individual or one single mother or one recovering addict in this country out of their dire straits--- imagine how it could have changed their lives for the better--- imagine how our dying public education system could have profited from just 1.2 million, not to mention the lot of all those soldiers who have been fighting a “war” that they know can’t be won. as mr. hope & change is no doubt lying & his puppet, mr. panetta is speaking about the magic number 2013, as an election stepping stone for his commander in chief, the fact remains that “enduring presence” is going to stretch well into 2014 & possibly longer, given that once mr. hope & change is back in the saddle, all bets are off (as if they were ever on). 1,735 american soldiers dead so far… that’s 1,735 families who have sacrificed their kids for the war machine & 1,735 american soldiers, means 2 billion dollars that could have been spent on keeping americans at home alive, rather than casting them out of their homes, stealing away their jobs & giving their children a shitty education.
