What adds salt to the wound is that the money was taken from the IRS who would’ve used it to hire more auditors so they can audit more wealthy people who’ve been cheating on their taxes.For every $1 spent for auditors, they return an average of $12.
So we really lost $168bn in federal income that could’ve helped the public.
I’ve posted this a few times but it fits here:
This country spent $8 Trillion on two wars over 20 years! That’s $400 billion each year.
This country could have paid for all the chemotherapy 80 times over
OR we could have paid for rebuilding/fixing this countries infrastructure for a 1/3 of that cost.
OR America could have built out a National high speed rail
Or many many other things.
instead we killed thousands of people and got what in return???
Hey what percent is $14 billion of the $4.3 trillion Americans spend on healthcare?
You mean over spend? If the government handled healthcare it would be cheaper.
My only problem with this image is the money is being fed to a soldier, not a general or military political advisor, the people who end up with the real money.
