Ther Iraq and Aphgan Wars cost us $3 trillion dollars

[edhopper]

and every fucking Republican was okay with that and would have spent more without batting and eye.
But asked to spend the same amount to fix their own crumbling country and they balk at even a serious percent of that.
How do people still support these wankers?

1. I would think the cost was much higher than that. We've been in Afghanistan for TWENTY YEARS!

I have no foundation for that thought, just my logic.

[BSdetect]

2. Not to mention the lost opportunity costs

What if we spent that much on infrastructure, green energy, education etc

[Mickju]

8. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of needless deaths.

3. Maybe we should be defunding the military?

4. We went from the Glory and the Majesty of the 90's...

Those of my age group will understand...

Great economy, uplifted spirits and all was well under the GREATEST POTUS of MY lifetime...

And all went to shit because of warmonger m-f'er Shrub...

Worst POTUS ever.

[Solly Mack]

5. But think of all those hearts and minds we garnered!

Why, no. No I didn't type that out with a straight face.

[roamer65]

6. We are going to pay for it through the hidden tax.

Inflation.

Just like the Romans.

[rickyhall]

7. But we can't afford to fix our broken down infrastructure, right?

Fucking repugs.
