You can afford wars, corporate welfare, and a bunch of other nonsense no one asks where the money comes from but actually looking out for your own people is just impossible.

According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017 including interest.
You managed to find a cool 2.4 trillion to bomb some caves.

Deja vu.



/e Imagine what would be happening today if we hadn't "bombed those caves".

Probably not much, iraq would have remained stable so isis would never have happened, bin ladin would still have been hiding in pakistan..

Yeah sure. With no one hassling them they would have grown stronger and been able to easily supply the "cells" they have all over the world.

It's easy to sit back and guess what would be going on today if there had been no US intervention. And it would probably be wrong. Every time we slack off the middle east starts shipping wackos with vests every where, if not worse.

lol this guy has a top notch organization going on

If he wins the nomination and the general election, whoever ran as his VP will be president before the end of February 2021, lol.

Wrong. Norway sits on a huge bag of cash from their oil and gas fields because they did things right. They didn't burn that wealth but invested it wisely and now they can profit from it.

If they were like what you claim they'd ended up like Venezuela, one perfect example of a socialist shithole. They managed to go bankrupt despite their huge oil reserves lmao

Good cue to mention that Bernie was praising Venezuela as a place where "the American dream is more apt to be realized" as recently as 2011. And there are a lot of Chavez-fans and -apologists in his orbit still, for example one of his main speechwriters.

There's a pretty big gulf between not bombing the fuck out of a huge area and letting Bin Laden walk around scott free. Never mind that he wasn't even there he was in a compound in pakistan.

Are you telling us that the United States is not sitting on a wealth of natural resources?

I feel like you're calling all us stupid.
