Half Trillion Spent on Iraq and Afghanistan Wars

[Robbien]

Combined with the expenditures for the war in Afghanistan, expenditures for the “global war against terrorism” is $507 billion USD, making it one of the most costly conflicts Washington has embarked upon.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon is asking for between $120 to 160 billion USD more, the largest single request to date.

Meanwhile because of cuts in Federal Funding to States:

Illinois sold the Chicago Skyway for little over a billion dollars
Indiana sold the Indiana Tollway for little over three billion
Now I hear New Jersey is considering the sale of the NJ Turnpike and
Illinois is in negotiations for the sale of Midway Airport.

1. wasted and stolen

I wonder money we can get back- At least $9 billion missing, bonuses given to war profiteers...can't we find this money and put it back in our treasury? War profiteers should pay for reparations to the Iraqis as well as return the money they stole from US. They haven't repaired anything- why is it we have given them so much money?

How about we find the missing trillions that the pentagon admitted they lost on September 10,2001.
