"Or try to REDEFINE what ONE TRILLION means!"

Don't be dishonest Buddy. I did not redefine it. I suggested the cost (which is not even at or that close to one trillion btw) be compared to something useful. Not a RIDICULOUS and MEANINGLESS one that is designed to appeal to the average Joe's emotions.

Seems like a sensable guy like you would want a pertinent comparison. Something designed to help people UNDERSTAND the cost in comparison to our WEALTH and the cost of DIUBG NOTHING. But the left appeals to emotion, and to the average Joe and Jane some silly analogy to speniding a million a day (which they are not doing) for a million days (which will not happen) works to get them to change their opinion (or buy into the editorial position of the writer). The left should try to be serious and inform folks in real terms to help them decide what is right and wrong. But as we both know, the left TELLS people how they should think about something.

"basic math is not affected by your emotions"

The article is not about basic math. It is about the war wrecking America. As I infer above, you know that is not my point (that the math is incorrect). But you "debate" it as though it is. It is your style. And it is a bit dishonest imo.
