I am so sick of hearing about how we can spend the money we save from ending the wars!!!! [View all]

WE DO NOT HAVE THAT MONEY!!!! IT WAS ALL PUT ON CREDIT CARDS!!!!






I AM ADVOCATING AGAINST WAR! I AM STATING THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE EXTRA MONEY BY ENDING THE WARS. I AM SICK OF PEOPLE THINKING WE WILL HAVE ALL THIS EXTRA MONEY BY ENDING THEM. WE WILL JUST HAVE A SMALLER CREDIT CARD BILL, THATS IT!
