It goes to the beer brewery so everybody can get drunk on yeast? I mean where is it all going. Personally while most of these problems could be settled via counseling. Nobody wants any short answer.
Both things can be a waste of money at the same time.

This is always the most basic liberal talking point when ever addressing government waste, just deflect to something that happened 14 years ago instead of addressing the currently discussed issue.

Not to mention that the front runner of the Democratic Party for the 16 presidential election voted to invade Iraq.

The fact is free money destroys people and families. Just because we did one stupid thing does not justify doing other stupid things.

And the brother of a GOP candidate made the decision to invade, something that was never mandated by any vote.

Do we blame individuals for the actions of others now?

And the invasion was voted on, Hillary voted yes. I may be mistaken, but I believe none of the current nominees on the republican side could say the same.

You have to ask yourself, why are you going to vote for such a warhawk?

Americans think fixing Kabul is more important than fixing anything in their own country.

We're the only first world nation with citizens that think this way.

So you are admitting to being a racist?

You have to be since YOU are one of those on this forum.

You really ARE clueless!

What does "mandated' have to do with anything?

W WAS given the AUTHORITY BY a VOTE in CONGRESS, to do what HE FELT BEST.
