I appreciate the sentiments but our hard-earned tax dollars have been going to the other side of the world to spread "freedom" via cluster bombs and depleted uranium shells to fight the evil terrorists.
Forget $800B, we've spent upwards of $1 TRILLION dollars there, not to mention the long-term health care costs to the thousands of disabled veterans.
It's easy to rail against portions of government spending that you're philosophically opposed to, but none of these so-called fiscal conservatives bothered to bat an eye at this or any other previous government expansion. Shows where their priorities are that's for sure.
But now that Republicans are bringing out the specters of "welfare queens" and other wasted money now all of a sudden it's Don't Tread On Me.
