The education of our kids I assume? A very great deal. You can do great things with $300 billion, including create leftist circle jerk threads like this is gonna become.

Edit: Here ya go

Just about any use other than unprovoked aggression would have been better.

And we're nowhere near finished paying for Bush's blunder.

It most definitely would have.

How far would 70% of your paycheck go to help the homeless?

You have lost of Heat references. Would that money you spent toward computer equipment have more of a positive impact elsewhere?

Good Question. We should cut welfare and medicare, and use that money to find out.

we are talking about tax money.. so.. why do my personal affairs come into play here?

all money used to purchase hardware was taxed by my government and a HUGE portion of it was sent to Iraq.. right?

Who knows? It's a thousand bucks each. Most people would blow it on crap, so it's more fun to blow it literally in the form of bombs.

Here's a quote I saw recently that seems to apply here..

Yes, Zendari, we know you're opposed to education because you hate kids and leftists and the disabled and am I missing anything?

You are the stereotypical Republican, sir. War GOOD! Helping people (by not killing them) BAD!

What if you update the OP to actually include these new caveats, instead of attempting to rely on trite headlines?

EagleKeeper is the only one so far to give you an honest Republican answer. In the Republican mind, there is no better use of funds than killing non-Christians. All the others would rather spin and attack other issues.

Pumping the money in alternative energy research- possibly. Look at the space program.


Tossing money at education - does not accomplish anything with standards and guidlines. That method has been tried for the past 20 years and does not succeed.
Education improvments have to come from the ground up.

Helping the World - No!!

Nowhere. Tossing money around never creates invention and education, just waste. Those things require necessity.

Whoa, that must have been one hell of a loaded question for you to gleam all that insight into the inner workings of his mind from that one-word response he gave.

OK.. then to answer your question :)

I, like 90% of Americans, could probably do more with my money to assist with the needs of this society -- like removing the Bush family from politics through donations to certain groups

but to be honest.. I really don't have that much extra even if I skipped the hardware purchases ..

Heh. I'm just laughing at the irony of his comments about spin and attacking other issues, taken in context with his spin and attack on EagleKeeper. The doublethink is strong in EatSpam... :laugh:

I'd say an alternative to oil is a necessity, don't you agree?
