    Each one costs as much as a state of the art high school, including 1 year of teacher salaries. That’s 16 districts that could have had better education, and maybe we would have smarter voters, and maybe elect fewer shitbags.

      Because I do not believe in accurate elections on the federal level, I prefer to translate the kickbacks into missed food, housing and medicine

        Sure, take your pick. I like the school comparison because it’s easier to visualize. But you’re right, spending at the federal level would be more distributed across all programs.

    Hmm, that’s exactly how many were lost in the beginning of the Afghanistan war… history repeating itself, another forever war started by another idiot republican whose supporters accuse anyone that opposes them of having “_____ derrangement syndrome”
