So your saying its better to spend money killing innocent people in other countries rather than trying to reboot a falling economy. I don't know what to say.


No, I am saying it's best to do neither. But yea, we went to war and spend a shit load of money. This means Obama can do whatever he wants.

Great logic. I don't know what to say.

Wow that's not what he said or even remotely implied at all haha.  I don't like the spending of either as both have been careless and lacked efficiency and effectiveness, but not reason to start putting words in peoples' mouths.  If you wanted to argue that it was illogical of what he said, then just state it is a false dichotomy and  move on haha. 

Fair enough, that might not be what he meant, but it's how I took it.

And by the way, if all we wanted to do is kill innocent people in other countries, we can do it a lot cheaper. We spend so much money, because we are the only country to spend billions making weapons that don't kill innocent people.

Cost us 1/1000th to develop a missile that will blow up a building, then it does to make one that will enter the exact office we want, and only kill the people in that room.

We get no credit for the lives we saved in the rest of the building. WWII we fire bombed the shit our of Germany so heavy, thousands of people died from suffocation, because we burned up all the oxygen.

In Leningrad, 630,000 civilians were starved to death in WWII by the Germans... and we are going on and on about how the US is the evil of the world.

I grow tired of it.
