This just in: Forbes, who keeps track of such things, says the War in Afghanistan cost over $300 million per day, for twenty years, with yuuuge bills yet to come.

 And you wonder WHY the Pubs who take the campaign contributions from the Daddy Warbucks ‘defense’ contractors didn’t wanna see it end?

George Orwell said, ‘The war is not meant to be won, but to be continuous.’ Tell me HE didn’t understand the soul of mostly Republican Congressmen who fund the War Machine.

Dwight Eisenhower, who warned against, and coined the term Military Industrial Complex said, “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.” 

$300 million/day for TWENTY YEARS, as the Pubs always say, ‘We can’t afford it’, (unless it’s a tax break for the 1%), unless they are in power, while a fortune was spent on their current favorite war, every day for 20 years.
