minus-squareGoofSchmoofer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI’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???
