How much a day for 2 (or should it be 3?) wars, and we could cover everything and to spare.
Of course, the corporations that have to keep making the bombs need someone to drop them and use them up, or their profits would drop. And their contributions would also drop. So we can see why that won’t happen!
The real problem is the tax ceiling, not the debt ceiling it caused. Yes, we DO spend too much, like gee, $68,000 for ONE “Hellfire” missile to do the job of a bullet. Don’t worry, they’re working on a replacement that only costs $286,000 a copy, to replace a$5 bullet. But hey, that’s “defense” spending. Never mind cruise missiles at $1.3 million apiece to replace an artillery shell either, or quarter BILLION dollar “fighter” aircraft than not only can’t fly to get TO the fight, they’re only intended to get within 125 miles and launch, yep, a missile.

There should be a rope around the Tea-Party’s ankle, tied to the Elephant’s wrist.
And the Repubs ( including Boehner and McConnell ) voted HOW many times to raise the debt ceiling when Bush was Prez?
