There's no money for education and health care but they'll always find some for war.

    I’ve posted this a few times but it fits here:

    This country spent $8 Trillion on two wars over 20 years! That’s $400 billion each year.

    This country could have paid for all the chemotherapy 80 times over

    OR we could have paid for rebuilding/fixing this countries infrastructure for a 1/3 of that cost.

    OR America could have built out a National high speed rail

    Or many many other things.

    instead we killed thousands of people and got what in return???

      With a national healthcare payor negotiating the cost of care you could possibly pay for all of it with that money.

        still quite a bit away from “millions” the HIGHEST (by a significant margin) for Iraq is 1.033 million, and that is total excess death, not casualties and for Afghanistan it barely reaches 200,000 in 20 years

        so no, Hundreds of thousands is correct, Millions is Soviet territory

                They said Soviet territory . It is vague form of point to “Russia & company” among else witch BTW even during Soviet era had causee millions of people to die. Difference is though your comrades kept it secret while US made a lots of their shit public over the years. You have no idea what they did in under the wing of east block if you talk like that.

                    Nah I’m referinng to Russia & spol government mentality under any regime that works as follows: take millions of folks and grind them into meat if necessary for regime to stay at power, tell surviving women to bird 8 kids to be good people. Act as nothing happened and if someone asks question make them disappeared and blame west.

      In return our billionaires got even more billions, and their servants in Congress got reelected.
