Re: Good said by anononon :
Good! The federal government has no business subsidizing businesses anyways!
Now give me back the ~$10K you stole from me in taxes last year!
A) you didn't pay $10K in taxes.
B) No one "stole" anything from you.
I guess you think the government runs for free. I guess we should stop paying our troops that protect YOUR ass so you can have a few more $$ in your pocket. |

San Diego, CA | A) And you would know that how?
B) Not stole. I believe the word would be exploited.
The government has it's cost, but offensive war in countries that aren't directly attacking us aren't costs we should take or can afford to take. Yet to this day we're still taking them even with this massive amount of debt. We don't need our troops in Iraq/Afghanistan protecting us. We need them here wiping gangs off the street, and dealing with internal problems first.

Gorham, ME | Why is it that every time someone brings up Iraq and Afghanistan, and talks about how much money we're pissing away there, (we'll ignore the toll of minds and lives) someone invariably compares the current morass with the Second World War? Why?
It may interest you to know that we fought WWII for four years with a very definite end result. We have, however, been in Iraq for six years-plus and Afghanistan for eight years this fall with no end in sight.
I understand the allure of fighting World War II all over again (really, I do). But we're not fighting conventional conflicts right now and it's not quite so simple to win battles when the bad guys aren't obliging enough to wear uniforms. And alas, not every third world dictator is a threat to world peace on the scale of Hitler, contrary to what our government keeps asserting.
