War Tax
Now the Dems want a war tax if we send more troops, this would put more pressure on the President. I know someone will say that, that is the least that we could do to support the troops.
We will be taxed to death if the healthcare bill passes and now a war tax if passed.
Those of you with one job had better find a second and those that already have two jobs should find a third and say good bye to the wife or girl friend, you will be to busy trying to pay all the taxes.

I've read estimates of 3 trillion in war related-expenses when it is all said and done.

We're expanding into Afghanistan. Hopefully drawing down in Iraq
So far this is EXACTLY what I wanted them to do!
As far as the tax... how much has Iraq cost so far vs. the proposed health care bill....

What's the deal Fly Rod? Tired of being incorrect in the other thread, so you've moved on to a new complaint?

Wars are expensive - we're well over a trillion already. It's fun to blow up third world people, but its a pricey proposition. When you spend a trillion dollars on anything, there's gonna be some buyer's regret.
I'm surprised people are so quick to move to a military option given the staggering cost.

A good point.
Bloomberg spent $187 per NYC resident they say in this last election cycle. We could probably buy off most of the 3rd world for a few pennies on the wholesale dollar and wouldn't have to worry about a thing.

I don't CNN is doing anything but reporting what the President is expected to say tonight during his speech about Afghanistan.
Anyone who takes anything reported by a single news station as gospel (be it CNN, Fox or MSNBC) should get their head checked. |

bryan is right, O did say that he would fight the fight in Afhganistan. I posted a similar though before and got bashed, but here goes. Where are all the peace nuts? they were protesting WAR, not jus Iraq. Why is no one protesting war anymore? every year I make a trip to western mass before t day and there have always been a group of protestors on a corner in Great barrington. Anyone want to guess if they were there this year..........nope! Huh???
we have more soliders committed to battle now than with Bush!

and BTW, US deaths in Afganistan in 2009 ARE DOUBLE any other year previosy. DOUBLE!!!!
I know Im a crazy conspiracy theorist with the media, but I listen to the news/talk radio 1.5 hrs each day. For years I've heard Iraq death announcements for US soliders KIA every day. But I have heard VERY few in 2009 yet, we have a ton of guys KIA in Afghanistan, is it my imagination? Is the media supressing these? Info here -

I think people understand Afghanistan was/is a failed state that doubled as a safe haven for terrorist training camps and harbored command and control that was directly responsible for 9/11.

Unfortunately, I think that is to be expected. Similar statistics occurred during the troop surge in Iraq. The sad reality of it is that there are more troops in Afghanistan than a year ago and as such, more of our soldiers as targets for the scumbags to shoot at.
Add into the above that the extremely difficult terrain and (in my opinion) the Taliban are more organized than the splintered resistance factions in Iraq. |

There is truth to what you say. Where I live there is a rotary and during the Bush days the proresters were there every Saturday and Sunday protesting and now there are none. |

War Tax? We print endless money for poorly run and regulated banks, bail out every, to big to fail, company, give Japan automakers a big Cash for Clunkers kiss and now the Dems are concerned about the debt?
This is only beginning Obama lovers. Open your own wallet, this is your fault.

Hey I get my fluid level checked every 3000 posts whether I need it or not. My point had nothing to do with believing just one reporting entity. |
