Where's the money going to come from? |
|
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 07:17 PM by CatWoman
Where?
So far we have pissed away, what, $300 billion in Iraq?
I saw an estimate of $30 billion to rebuild Louisiana.
For the money we have wasted in Iraq, we could rebuild 10 cities.
Again: where's the money going to come from?

6. I think 30 billion is way too low |
|
No, I have no earthly idea of how to guage monetary damage. But they released this 30bn figure earlier today, and I don't think this accounted for what will sureley be the almost total destruction of New Orleans.
How will they pay for it? No idea, but you can bet * will shaft the residents of Louisiana and Mississippi just like he did the residents of New York.

|
president in our history that gave tax cuts during war time..

9. Maybe China. the Mideast and European countries will loan us some more |
|
of course, we have been pissing them off when our VP and congressmembers want to nuke everyone and we are a credit risk since we are carrying so much debt: $24k-plus for every man, woman, and child in the US.
I would not be surprised if the international community says that George and the people who elected him can just f*** off.

12. Even if we found the money, Bush would immediately siphon |
|
it off and ship it to Iraq.
