You know, it seems very few people ever ask how to pay for a war. I personally don't know how much a war costs, but I think Obama approved $610 billion for Afghanistan in 2010. The 9/11 terror attacks were an unimaginable evil committed on US soil. We lost 2,993 lives that day, and we should make sure those responsible will be brought to justice.
Cancer on the other hand, is a very real and ongoing threat, and in 2008 claimed some 565,000 Americans. That's almost 100 times the lives lost on 9/11, and that's just in 2008. But why don't I see Obama signing a $610 billion cancer prevention research appropriation?
Why are people so accepting of a war in Afghanistan with no seemingly clear cut goals but so pissy about spending $900 billion for health care reform?
