They said it couldn't be done, but we did it! We've managed to blow $400,000,000,000.00 in Iraq! I say "Don't stop now, we've got this GDP on the ropes."
To grasp the magnitude of our accomplishment, review some of the comparisons provided by the National Priorities Project. They indicate that this sum of money is sufficient to buy 7 Million teachers. But consider the size of the teachers' lounge you would need. Hello? Doesn't anybody think any more? We really need to do something about the educational system if you don't see the problem here.
These spend-thrift do-gooders also claim that $400B would pay for 20 million 4 year college scholarships. Screw that, I'm done with college. I want my money to go where it will do some good - to some politically connected contractors in some god-forsaken shithole.
I say we set our sights higher - $1,000,000,000,000.00. It will be like Jason and the Argonuts bringing home the Golden Fleece! And we will reap our just reward.

are those "new math" numbers you're throwing around?
Hi OneEar,
Some of that $400,000,000.00 could be going towards providing decent Health Care for Americans, as well as building affordable housing and making sure everyone receives adequate food every day. It’d also be nice if some of that money were allocated to State and local colleges, so that anyone who had the motivation to attend a university could get funding or scholarships to help them through 4-years of advanced education. How about putting some of that money towards rebuilding the roads and highways; making sure aqueducts and levees are structurally safe; building bigger prisons; providing more and better teaching materials to the schools, etc. The money and human lives wasted in Iraq on a daily basis is a travesty.
LBok, facts are facts.
ML, we don't need no health care and education, and we sure as hell don't need no aqueducts. Maybe that kind of new age thing is in vogue in California, but in the heartland, we say, "Would you care for some fries with that?"
