wasted spening of US dollars 53 billion

Reader comment on item: Wasted U.S. Spending in Iraq (and Afghanistan): $53 billion and Counting

Submitted by kim (United States), Dec 13, 2009 at 13:55

Everything our forefathers warned us of is happening. appeasement, nation building. all breaking America's back, one that really got me to is how Bush built a six billion dollar embassy and remodled the museum and the old city of Bagdad and all Saddams palaces..We are to vote on where our money goes, but no gov here asked us. even when we vote, like to kick out the UN , and they are still here. and now we have over 100,000 coming to our country a month and get free everything ,,while we loose our jobs that is taken by the immigrants on visa and the ilegals who flock over our borders..now the want the public option which is to give medical to all visa and illegals , mostly for the votes the next ellection. isn't that something this lawlessness against our Constitution and our upsurper saying this is not longer a Judeo/Christian country..one million each yr come in and take it all while one million Americans loose jobs and their homes. it is a deliberate act by this administration to hand us over to the EU..soon we will have nothing but slaves to these rich ass holes who are rich with our money. How long America are you going to let this happen..Hitler and communism is back full force..no one believed it then and don't now. and if you think they will love you for voting for them, think again..they will kill and destroy you after you as a useful idiot does their bidding..
