$2,700.00 is YOUR number

and also your neighbor's number
and your retired parent's number
and the non-tax paying drug dealer on the street corner number
and YES even your
CHILD'S
number - although they will see a far bigger number in actuality because they will owe foreign lenders much interest on this money borrowed to support our troops
these numbers are frightening and yet few see the problem with continuing to make our Defense contractor few very very rich while the remainder of society falls into unemployment, poverty, homelessness and making use of emergency rooms for lack of health insurance
A WHOOPING $2.3 TRILLION missing? poof vanished into thin air?
$2.3 TRILLION more than double the stimulus to recover from the Greatest Recession in world history- just gone AWOL maybe headed off to Switzerland to ski the Alps and enjoy Russian caviar or whatever
here's the scoop and lest ye criticize ME it was even McCain & Rumsfeld do or die Republicans who have also found this money trap too much to bear

And yet we want to spend trillions more. Again, it is okay if it is whatfreedom's way but not if it goes against his radical stand.

my radical stand being the same as McCain's or my radical stand being for SANE defense spending?
radicalism would be marching thru the streets of DC and stopping all traffic movement until someone became serious as to why a Healthcare plan cannot be agreed upon with a cost over 10 yrs of $1 Trillion but nary a word of military misplacing or losing over $2 Trillion in a short period of time
tell me please why we are wanting to obligate our young to a future so bleak they will require more than tanning beds sans eye protection to ever see the light rather than calling me names and other childish attacks

What drugs are you on? Each persons share is so much greater than that.
http://usdebtclock.org/
Try a share of $343,143.00 that includes all the debt or out entire nation, funded and unfunded.
You don't have a clue do you?
Look at the last number at the bottom of the page, if the debts came due tomorrow that is what your share is not a puny $2,700.00. We would be in great shape if that all it was.

weiner the $2,700 is solely each person's share for A SINGLE YEAR of the Defense pie not the debt for all past years defense, medicare, social security, roads, airports and such. The initial post even includes what other socialist countries spend per individual which is actually a much more realistic number if the EXPECTATION is that the USA can do it all. Today on ABC morning talk Sen Bernie Sanders from VT made it clear other peoples around the planet should be helping on the funding IF we increase our Afghan mission and singled out Russia & China although I believe India should also be included.
When geeW went to Iraq with his coalition many thought a gasoline tax to wean our dependency on foreign imports would be wise but because the economy was bad we passed it over. Then we did the same for the surge. Now our economy is still bad and we will likely pass it over again BUT if we are serious about this war endeavor then we will have to PAY for it and a 25cent per gallon or something would make everyone a part of it along with greater tax on the wealthy that geeW/GOP gave huge tax benefits
here is maybe the part you missed weiner:
"The 2010 Pentagon budget means "every man, woman and child in the United States will spend more than $2,700 on (defense) programs and agencies next year," reports the Cato Institute. "By way of comparison, the average Japanese spends less than $330; the average German about $520; China's per capita spending is less than $100." "

I will happily pay 2,700.00 a year for our safety, as it seem you don't won't to. Now as far as the rest of that debt, just look at medicare, prescription drug plan or social security, how secure is all that, not very.

weiner I'm betting most folks here in 'poor' PA don't pay $2,700/yr to the IRS no matter what you're willing to pay BUT I ask YOU do your CHILDREN also agree to pay the $2,700 +interest when they are able to pay the Gov't regardless of your willingness?

WF...wouldn't your extremist radical rantings be more suited to extreme leftist liberal blogs? Surely, you're not that naive to believe anyone takes your rantings seriously. Oops I guess I answered my own question.
You waste a lot of time in your day posting links that never get opened.
Does your boyfriend/ husband share your radical views?
You complain because nobody, according to you, suggest viable solutions, you complain that most folks do not want to debate your extremist views. I think most people realize your are extremely naive without any practical experience.
Yet you continue to belittle everyone on here (The Narcissist Goober Syndrome) not agreeing with your leftist radical views. How do you explain this in a way that does not show your distain for the military, the USA and the rest of the posters?

yes and Paul Revere and Thomas Paine were also those who wanted the peoples to know what was going on in the states - TRAITORS they were indeed to the Brits
If you think the per person spending in the US compared to A-N-Y other nation in the world is good fine for you but as America suffers this painful decline maybe you should volunteer to up your payments for those unemployed to pick up the shortfall

WF...another of your ridiculous loony answers...why can't you answer the question posed to you. When have you ever given anyone a straight concise answer?
More propaganda from the radical.

did Jesus directly answer questions OR rather pose his distractors towards self reflection? Are you DVE willing to pony up more money than your share for all of the unemployed to keep on fighting? YOU haven't answered either, nor redcap, nor beeker, nor weiner, nor .....

atheist hardly but I have seen no one else make any kind of recommendations on this board other than myself with links to back things up for the most part
Do you read about our new humongous bEmbassies in AFghanistan in the papers YOU choose to read? well I do and if that makes my a commie pinko fine but knowing where this VAST amount of money is going is better than being distracted over a Healthcare Bill most Americans wanted in the 2008 election ain't it? If we had a single payer option small business would have a burden lifted and could again start hiring folks but....
