I just gave Bush twenty grand!!
I just wanted to say a big "thank you" to Bush, Cheney, and the whole republican war machine. Why? you ask... Well, 'cause they just helped themselves to twenty grand from me. Oh yeah, and from you. And from everyone you know.
The economic costs to the United States of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan so far total approximately $1.5 trillion, according to a new study by congressional Democrats....[The] report, titled "The Hidden Costs of the Iraq War," estimates that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have thus far cost the average U.S. family of four more than $20,000.
So even though I was out on the streets before the war protesting - even though I was against this stupid ridiculous war in Iraq from the get go - they still get twenty grand from me. How sweet is that?
Well, at least I'm glad that Blackwater, Haliburton, Lockheed Martin, et al. are going to get a huge chunk of that cash. I'd hate to think that republican backers, apologists, warmongers, and poor defenseless mega-corporations didn't get some of my cash too. That my friends, would just be tragic...
