That's how much the Bush Administration spent on Propaganda since 2003.

1. That just goes to show what an crooked incompetent worthless bunch

of criminals they are. They spent all that money and the majority of the country still knows what a bunch of lying thugs they are.

When I spend what little money I have I try to get something of value for it.

"enemies".

3. And what could we pay for with that money:

How many hungary people could we feed? - Tried to find facts could use some help here.

How many kids could we send to college? @average annual cost of public college tuition is $3,983 per year = 100,426 students fully funded through 4 years of college.

Child Care: In New York State, average annual cost of child care for a four-year -old in a day care center is $8,060 = 198,511 children in day care

Health care? what could we do with that


Social Security: Maybe it could have been used to help that faux crisis.

4. Here's what we could have done with that money IMO

It could have been given to a state to build or rebuild a couple of schools.

It could have been put into Social Security.

Could have used it to improve the lives of the troops.

But no, it had to be spent on some propaganda.

5. How much would those from New Orleans and all the survivors

of Katrina need to help them get back home?

Just when I think I can't become any more enraged we learn about more bullshit.:grr: :nuke:
