How much tax money can American afford these recurring "free" war spending? How about my American economy?

Oh, I don't know BH. What is a human life worth?

All that money spent to liberate children from kiddy prison. All that money spent on food, water, medicine for poor, starving, desperate people. All that money preventing one more human from entering the wood chipper feet first so they can hear themselves scream.

Or raped because some impotent brute wants to prove it's not him...

Or gassed......

Or blown up by a homicidal lunatic loser just because they are.......

It sure is confusing having to defend spending all that money tearing down empires built by tyrants hell bent on creating as much human misery, suffering and pain as they possibly can.

I suppose some sort of 90s style scenario could be re-invented so that your "American economy" becomes just like you remember. You could make a killing while fanatics make theirs?

Isn't the US's military budget 3% of the GDP?

Seems like a very small price to pay to me, BWTFDIK?

It won't surprised me at all if Syria is the next target. And I will be absolutely stunned if no bad stories about how the Syria people were mistreated are discovered before that. I'm just wondering what will that be this time, killing people in soccer stadium has been used before. 150 prisoners rotting slowly in the Jail may not cut it this time. Maybe CNN should setup a contest, what story is good enough to kick Syria's ass. Time is ticking.
