America has spent almost 1.3 TRILLION Dollars prosecuting a war against the Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now she is trouble at home. Shall she raise the ceiling of the national debt or increase taxes on the rich to pay for the debt. Shall she risk defaulting on her loans and send the world markets in turmoil...not pay on social security for seniors. In short, America is in trouble.
Ask any social bumb on the street what should the president do about the crisis and they will tell the president to bring all the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan at once and began to save money and strengthen the US economy. But, America is so arrogant and haughty....she thinks she can change the lives in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, she risks collapsing like ancient Rome collapsed because of her arrogance. President Obama should tell the congress that he will order the immediate withdrawel of all US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the best solution for the US government. What do you think ?
With enactment of the sixth FY2011 Continuing Resolution through March 18, 2011, (H.J.Res.
48/P.L. 112-6) Congress has approved a total of $1.283 trillion for military operations, base security,
reconstruction, foreign aid, embassy costs, and veterans’ health care for the three operations initiated
since the 9/11 attacks: Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Afghanistan and other counter terror
operations; Operation Noble Eagle (ONE), providing enhanced security at military bases; and
Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). This estimate assumes that the current CR level continues through the
rest of the year and that agencies allocate reductions proportionately.
Of this $1.283 trillion total, CRS estimates that Iraq will receive about $806 billion (63%), OEF $444
billion (35%) and enhanced base security about $29 billion (2%), with about $5 billion that CRS
cannot allocate (1/2%). About 94% of the funds are for DOD, 5% for foreign aid programs and
diplomatic operations, and 1% for medical care for veterans.
