No, just no.
Ok this is just beyond stupid. The group Rethink Afghanistan trying to get people to send a pre-made message to the White House’s website that acts as a watchdog for Fraud Waste and Abuse.
That’s why we’re asking you to report the Afghanistan War as an example of waste, fraud and abuse on the White House’s official economic recovery website, Recovery.gov, today. Simply scroll down to the field marked “What” and paste this message into the text box:
“I’d like to report the waste of billions of dollars of our national wealth in Afghanistan on a war that doesn’t make us safer. It’s fraud to portray this as a war that increases our security, and it’s abusive of U.S. troops and local civilians to drag out this war any longer. End the war so we can have real economic recovery.”
Really? I mean you really want people to take you seriously trying to pull stunts like this? What about the people that have real issues that need to be looked at. What your doing is encouraging the abuse of government resources wasting time looking at your political spam.
Also some crazy to go out on.
Americans only care about healthcare. They have ignored this abuse of power. If we didn’t spend so much on the wars, we’d have enough to pay for our OWN healthcare! We are taxed to death. Paying for these unconstitutional wars and other unconstitutional spending. People are just so stupid! Plus, the cost of caring for all … See Morethe vets with mental and physical repercussions from these illegal wars helps to bankrupt America. People just don’t get it! I’m so mad and frustrated with them!
No, just…no.

Well, let’s think about this for a quick second……healthcare is going to cost $2.5 trillion (latest CBO estimate) for 6 years. Yes you read that right, 6 years, however we are going to start paying the money right away on a 10 year payment plan for 6 years of benefits, because we will be paying for, but not able to use, the benefits for the first 4 years.
Now let’s look at the 2 wars, which for arguments sake, have cost the same $2.5 trillion over the last roughly 9 and a half years. In that we have freed roughly 50 million people from brutality and tyranny, plus created a stable Iraq where the people are actually able to vote for someone other than Saddam. Granted, we’re still working on A-stan, but we will get there, hopefully.
We know that “estimates” never are correct, when it comes to the government, so the cost for healthcare will be higher than the estimates, plus they are planning on adding an additional $317 billion ater the initial healthcare bill is passed, so we are looking at probably another $600 bllion in actual money. We do know the costs of the wars, up to this point, so we have actually spent much less on the wars than what we will be on healthcare.
Bottom line is it costs less to free 50 million people than to enslave 300 million people.
Just my opinion, tho.
