[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1407660, member: 18225"] Correct, my wife was wrong about the 50%...which is why I looked it up and amended the percentage. But no, I'll stand by my argument that we have all the money we need, we just spend it on unneeded and unnecessary expenditures. For example, the cost of the vanity wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will top out between Four and Six TRILLION dollars. [B]Want to imagine what we could do with that much money if we applied it here at home?[/B] (Of course, that's not an apples to apples comparison, since most of that money is borrowed anyway). Imagine, right now we are spending over 100 million dollars every day running air strikes to destroy ISIL hard targets...a lot of which is equipment that we bought for the Iraqis. The irony...
