An Obama support repeated the line that we can't afford the war. We are in financial crisis. Interesting I said, how much are we spending? 10Billion a month. So that's what? 120 billion. We just blew 5 Trillion in bailouts. Even if you just count what was allocated, being the 700 Billion, the war is small in comparison. Further military spending is below the 30 year average. So we are spending less on the military, than we have historically. The war is not creating the financial burden. Its the crazy spending in Washington that we can't afford. Its the banking bail out we can't afford. Its the GM bail out we can't afford. Its printing money all the time we can't afford. Its social security and medicare at 1.2 Trillion/ year and growing that we can't afford. Don't tell me we can't afford $120B and then loot the treasury for $700B to bail out our government officials and millionaire execs who caused the problem. That is what we can't afford.
