War Math

[salinen]

By the time America has transformed Iraq into a complete wasteland, and I'm guessing that sticker at around 3 trillion dollars.

That's $10,000 for every citizen of the U.S.

I want my $10,000 now and get the fuck outta there.

1. Actually, Bush gave the super rich $1.8 trillion in tax refunds....

...so 20% of the taxpayer households and their dependents (that's about 60 million persons) won't be paying for any of the war. The rest of us will pick up their share of the ticket, plus who pays the tax refund? Yep, right again. Grand total:

$4.8 trillion paid for by 240 million U.S. residents or $20,000 each, plus 8.0% annual interest on that for the next 30 years because none of us will be able to come up with that kind of money in new taxes given all the other obligations we have. Running those numbers through the standard on-line mortgage calculators, guess what:

That would be $146.75 per month or a total of $52,830.00 buckeroos!

Did George Bush grab us all by the short hairs or what?

2. The social & economic engineering

done in the last 5 years guarantees China will be the lone superpower very soon.

[whistle]

3. But the U.S. will still have 30,000 nuclear weapons that could be

...delivered into China's mass population centers and the neo-cons have a large number of hiding places.

5. you're assuming that becoming

a powerless, bankrupt country will cause a nuclear war. Leveling Chinas major centers will spark an all out fuck fight where the earth resembles the moon. Even a neocon in a bunker isn't safe.

4. It's Not About Spending Money, It's About Making It

If you've got your hands on some of that 3 trillion, gonna bite the hand that feeds ya? Hell no, you're gonna go for more. What's 3 trillion to most people than "fuzzy math" anyway, and if it's 4 trillion so what...it just gets fuzzier. Most sheeple couldn't differentiate the difference between a trillion or billion...cause they still can't figure out correct change for $1.

This Iraq adventure along with the "war on terror" is one division of BFEE, Inc...the money making division. Between its fat no-bid outsourced Pentagon contracts to its regular corporate welfare to special tax breaks and exemptions to having direct access to writing and dictating bills and policy, times couldn't be better.

Sorry, Chucko, as long as you remain a resident and tax payer of this country you're paying and you're gonna like it. :sarcasm: We're not done rebuilding what we're destroying and haven't gotten enough destroyed yet. No folks with torches and pitchforks outside the gates...so let the games go on.

no denial haunts your psyche. This may be the beginning of the Neocon century. Interesting that there are people who love wealth enough to obliterate whole civilizations. In the end, this already sickened planet suffers another diagonis of cancer.

8. The Psyche Is Numbed

From one who could hop in on the gluttony (the banks are selling bonds, T-Bill, notes for large credit card companies and banks...and so on) and cash in on all the middle class plundering. Or, call the broker and put down a bundle on some Defense contractor or government porker...those companies that make them MREs are gonna be working 24/7 for quite a while...or there's always some oil or multinational corporation. Since there's no faces, no direct connection...it's all just numbers on paper and it's "all good".

I'm sickened by so many of my generation...some who I used to party and protest with 30 plus years ago...now consider their net worth the value of their total being. They're abdicated logic and their souls to a never-ending battle of status seeking, pleasure seeking and into a shell.

I'm just a spectator to all that goes on these days.

9. The de-evolution of America

is a facinating spectator sport. Wealth is the ticket to heaven. Hooking up with a multinational just makes economic sense. Yick! Being an atheist inherently precludes any joy that these snakes will get what they deserve.

It seems to be more about glorifying the self as much as possible in the span of a life. How interesting. A culture of super stars.

Keep safe
