*costs the US 600 million dollars a week
Party pooper.
The post 9/11 US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are estimated to have cost around $8 trillion dollars.
$8 trillion divided by 22 years divided by 365 days is $1 billion per day.
And the state I live in is talking about budgetary cuts.
we currently have 582,000 homeless people. instead of doing war for the past 22 years we could have just given them 13 million USD each
How much could two wars cost Michael, a billion dollars a day?
Isn't that the amount of money that was missing from the pentagons budget when a ~~missile~~ plane flew into it?
How many football fields would that much money fill?
Your taxpayer dollars at work (assuming you live and work in the US)
And pay taxes
hell yea, bankrupt them plz.
I gotchu, fam
Ive seen so many Jewish Christian minute long commercials begging for money for the poor Israelis
Its fucking pathetic.
