How many times have we paid for it? And, more importantly, will it ever actually be delivered.

| 5. I wish someone would give me 230 billion to take care of. |
|
I think I could do a lot better job than these guys.
Will we ever get any kind of accounting for all that money?

That sounds about right to me. What could have been done here with that money? It would have funded health care, and a drug program, shot to hell now.

| 7. And we all believed him? The bad part is that Congress did. |
|
We really need to get better, more responsible people in Congress. And do something so that their campaigns don't take so much money.

We can see he stands naked and is a fool, unlike other parts of the populace.

| 10. It didn't matter what we believed - no one ever asked us |
|
But they did ask Congress. And Congress should have put the slap down.

| 9. Maybe they can spare a few million and give our soldiers armor? |
