Beyond obscene - $745B since 2001

Bush to Request Billions for Wars

President Bush will ask Congress for close to three-quarters of a trillion dollars in defense spending on Monday, including $245 billion to cover the cost of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and other elements of the "global war on terror," senior administration officials said yesterday.

as a minority stockholder in this mega-corporation called bushco, i would greatly appreciate a full accounting of exactly where each and every dollar of this money has ended up or will end up... when you consider that, for $745B, the infrastructure, educational, and health care needs of the entire united states could have been significantly pared down if not entirely met, we should not tolerate this kind of obscene expenditure any longer...
