War on Terror as a permanent boondoggle
The $5 Trillion War on Terror - Battleland - TIME.com: "Five trillion dollars: that's $16,000 per American; $64,000 for a family of four." If we think of what has actually attacked America in our time, we could include natural happenings like tornadoes and Katrina and the dead from our wars (and those killed and wounded by us elsewhere) and the effects of things like the BP oil spill and conclude that none of these fall in the province of the five trillion war on terror. The WAT is a duplication of our bloated prison system and our bloated and ineffective war on drugs. We are paying a lot of people to push a lot of paper to feed a lot of mouths. And losing our minds in the bargain. We need a remake top to bottom.
