It would be interesting to compare these figures to what the government spent on other items, like our children or finding a way to deal with all our nuclear waste or something besides Welfare to war profiteers.
Our world is upside down. War profiteers should be sitting on the streets begging for change, instead of letting them steal everything from us and making others go without home and/or food.
But, hey, who is gonna argue with someone that makes WMDs, right?
Is it better to pay out welfare benefits or to make jobs that pay start at $28 an hour for a HS degree building submarines?
I don't really get that upset as long as the money is spent domestically.
