LOL no. These NeoCon Google Jockey Israeli-Mule adventures cost much more.

Just ask Larry Lindsay who back in the day got fired for rightfully estimating the Iraq war costs to be far greater than the "it'll be a cakewalk" crowd said.

Trillion?

Yup. No money to make higher education affordable. No money to make health insurance affordable. But there is always money for wars to make the interests richer.

A comment on the news last night: if they push the supplemental through using "reconciliation", they would need to take the money away from something else in the budget. hmmm....what could that be? The duck says "programs that generally benefit Proles". More cuts to SNAP. More cuts to Medicaid. More cuts to public education. Complaining Proles will get another lecture on 'personal responsibility".

All this would really only matter, politically, if there were "free and fair" elections in the fall.

The bad culture, the tribalism,,,,,,it's not even worth trying to discuss investing in Human Capital.



Which is a shame.


But to some of us - not a surprise.


Just imagine the quality consensus that will go into Social Security and Medicare Reform one day. Or the national common ground on Ai displacement.

LOL

If you people didn't have natural resources and capitalism -- oh man Rome would fall quick.
