Well I wonder what a $12,000,000,000.00 nothing is? Twelve Billion spent on ??????? No one seems to know....It's okay though because a Republican authorized it....

1. It all just boggles the mind. What would have others run out of the country

these criminals get away with it.
The Economy is what got bu$h's daddy un-elected yet it has been much worse for the last 5 years and it's OK
The war, Clinton had a little Kosovo deal and they called it wagging the dog, this guy is starting WW-III and it's OK.
Billions upon Billions just gone and no one is asking for the emperors head, and Congress is most likely to give him another 12 Billion to waste.

I just don't get it anymore. :banghead:

meanwhile, back in America corporations are going bankrupt and defaulting on their worker's pensions. If the world seems upside down, that's because it is!!
