Select forum quotes:
There are up and coming alternative energy companies that claim 4-6 years will yield results that can enable them to "furnish much of the nation's electricity if available residential and commercial rooftops were fully utilized."
They have US$120 million which they've raised through various charitable and investment sources and are underfunded.
$100,000,000
x 10,000
=
$1,000,000,000,000
(The total estimated cost of the Iraq war. Thats one trillian so you don't have to lose seconds of your life counting the zeros)
So you could fund TEN THOUSAND companies who promise 4-6 year turnaround on usable solar nanotechnology.
Alternatively you could fund 1 company 10,000 times over.
Or you could put it into humanitarian aid, make it public knowledge that solar is around the corner and get the public backing the only real solution to the problem rather than backing a war on an abstract concept which according to Greenspan, Mandela and earlier Australia's Defence minister Brendan Nelson, is about this ultimately unnecessary but profitable consumer energy source.
They can have zero dollars for this war for oil and a fucking noose as far as i'm concerned.
Keep reaching for that 10 trillion rainbow (http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ ).. that's right, a national debt of 10 trillion dollars can be YOURS with just one more gigantic check!
And congrats to Bush on being the first to change a surplus into an enormous country-destroying debt, while still making himself out as a hero.
I am sick of this bullshit.
We do not have the money, plain and simple.
The money does not exist to fund this war, it exists as credit, as debt, as future tax raises, as IOUs, compromises, and favors.
Bush doesn't have the money, no one does. Stop fucking up the financial future of America with ridiculously idiotic decisions.
--> You are correct. Most people don't realize the trillion spent on war in middle east is not part of the defense budget, it is earmarked separately for our future generation to pay the price. Sick. sick!
Heh, nice.
Bush says that the Child Heath Care plan is too expensive at $35 billion, and then turns around to request an additional $200 billion for his war.
screw bush and his request, stop spending our money on your lie!
impeach the bastard
Republicans, do you honestly believe that Iraq will be any different next year if you spend $200 billion? Can you actually justify the money that has been wasted so far and given to private contractors who on almost every occasion have failed to deliver?
How are we supposed to be winning the war on terror again? If he spends the country into bankruptcy, and nobody can afford their mortgages anymore, and people lose their trust in democracy, who is really winning?
The democrats are still acting like they're the minority party and I for one am damn fucking tired of this shit. They won a landslide except for one single seat in Congress, but they still act like dripping wet pussies. Guess what, the reason Congress has an 11% approval rating is because you keep letting the Republicans get their way! It's no coincidence that the Republican voters give Congress a higher approval rating, it's because the minority party is getting what it wants out of Congress! Now these fucking Republicans are going to steamroll your asses because you're nothing but a bunch of self-conscious pussies half-stepping their way to 2008. FUCK THAT SHIT AND GET WITH THE PROGRAM! Start fighting or start losing.
Interesting point: The healthcare and drugs of the 60 million people in britain costs around £100 billion, or approximately the US spending on the Iraq war.
To put that in context: If the US stopped spending money on Iraq, they could run a complete health service for the 60 million most needy. If they didn't pay for drugs, and only for healthcare, they could probably afford to pay for the entire US health system. No tax rises or other public spending cuts needed.
