Sorry to bring the punchbowl out again. But splash, here it is. Since 2001 two cities that you may relate to have paid out a bundle for the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions. South Bend's taxpayers forked up $192 million as their part in financing the two invasions. That amount of cash could have sent 26,000 students to university for one year. Goshen coughed up $64 million to show the citizens of the two countries how it should be done. That cash could have sent 9,000 students to university for one year. Whee! isn't imperialism fun?
They don't break it down for Warsaw, but a conservative estimate might be over $10 million.
That would fix a lot of pot holes. But who cares? Red China will keep loaning us money until they decide to call in the note in the form of farms, cities and what's left of our industry etc.
No problem when that day comes. La Cesspool Grande (our masters) will simply nuke China. Problem solved!
