That just pisses me off!!
Same here fren. I've been so desensitized to the term "Billions" that it doesn't even phase me any more. Seeing something like this that graphically shows how much that really is drives it home.
Go and watch "Charlie Wilson's War" with Tom Hanks. The original outlay for handouts to Afghanistan was $5M. Now that was in 1987 or so, but look how it has grown through the years. Why have we pumped over $100 BILLION into Afghanistan? Is that another slush fund for the deep state? I'm thinking yes because if the Afghans actually got all that money they'd be driving around on super highways instead of hopping on the backs of mules. Something doesn't smell right in Denmark.
I had forgotten about that. That was back when all liked Tom Hanks ;)
