Allow 24 months, that comes to: $115,200,000,000 . 115,200,000,000/285,000,000 = $404/person. As of November 5. This does not count the thousands of contracts for 'infrastructure' and other items. That total brings the cost-per-capita to around $750/person excepting those employed by Haliburton. I would still rather see that money spent in West Virginia for schools... Thanks very much but we have plenty of schools. We have so many that a number are being closed. School consolidation is taking place. If you'd like to send us something, we could use prime beef or Stilton cheese. ...or Mississippi, or Louisiana, even Texas, Alabama or Arkansas. God help us, even Camden, NJ. At least when my present-and-future grandchildren are paying it back there will be a discernable benefit. "discernible" I think we are seeing and will see such a benefit. I don't put a price on my freedom. But that would be too much like thinking from an administration bankrupt in that skill. You're an expert in foreign policy, are you? I like a lot of folks much more when you're discussing boatanchors. Funny, we feel the same way about you. We? Is that you and your rig? I'll guess that you speak only for yourself and that you do put a price limit on your freedom. Yep, I won't give it up for the illusory "tradeoffs" others are willing to make with their civil liberties. Dave K8MN |
