Conan, folks that use expressions like "only a billion" have no concept of what that amount really represents. After all, when they pay only a few dimes a year in federal income tax, assuming they pay at all, it's not their money being wasted on whatever.

A Billion seconds ago it was 1979.

A Trillion seconds ago it was 29,700 BC.

Who did that G?

I wasn't calling anyone out on this one actually. I just wish people would understand that our government needs to be accountable whenever it spends taxpayer money--no matter what the amount. If people here hold the opinion that American wasted $700+B on Iraq, or it wasted close to that amount in stimulus, or it is wasting by comparison a paltry $1.1B in Libya, then let them.

And that right there is the shame of it all. We have to accept unaccountability and wastefulness as the norm.

Don't forget the $1.2 trillion to bail out the banks and insurance companies.  Even more than the nearly 1 trillion caused by the collapse of the Savings and Loans.

Hey, a trillion here and a trillion there and you are talking about real Republicontin excesses!

I actually support Obama on this and give him credit for going after those sons-of-b..ches. I think it is also well within his rights as President to do so.  

I was doubtful at first, mainly because of the way Bush was treated by the left over warmongering. Hey, I was wrong.

You're just setting up for when POTUS OBAMA withdraws from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya.....you don't fool me (lol).

If you are being authentic in your post, welcome to the dark side.

I am being 100% serious. But thanks for the ideas on Obama's withdraw plans.

I would make a reply related to "reach around," but that would be offensive and incorrect as that it implies the the incorrect position in that relationship.
