Well good thing the U.S. economy is rock solid at the moment, and we have excess money to burn.

Otherwise we might start seeing bipartisan anger at a president and administration who have spent $134 million dollars to force a state government to do what the federal government says, while undoing previous federal orders regarding civil rights bc they were an unjust burden to states and a waste of the American tax payer dollar.

      Where you been?

      This is how the military works. How you think they can set a trillion dollars on fire every year just to maintain parity with Russia and China? By being WILDLY overcharged for fuckin’ everything that’s how. The US Military is the worlds biggest money laundering operation.

          Back in 80’s an older relative in the military was going to be charged $400 for a missing screwdriver unless he found it. So he went down to a local hardware store and found the screwdriver for $4.

          I’m sure the numbers were embellished, but I don’t imagine by much.
