There is an interesting story in todays edition of the Boston Sunday Herald entitled "Iraq war cost: $3 trillion plus" taken from the Bloomberg News service.
Some left wing hack by the name of Joseph Stiglitz a former economic adviser to former President Clinton made the claim that it was more like $5 trillion which the US has spent on the war effort in Iraq alone.He also stated that "We were trying to make Americans understand how expensive this war was."
Stiglitz also a professor (no surprise here) at well known liberal leaning Columbia University in New York made the outragous claim also a quote from the same story "Because we haven't raised taxes,because we've tried to pretend this war is for free we've been skimping on our treatment of veterans."
Give me a break this hack liberal Joseph Stiglitz back in 2001 won the Nobel prize is using the idea that we didn't raise taxes to fund the war on terror and talk about spitting in ones face using our veterans (which I am one myself) in his liberal mindless agenda is disgusting to say the least but what should one expect from most liberals.
Stiglitz needs to look into all the money that our Government has wasted over the years on the so called "Great Society" under President Lyndon Johnson in the early 1960's and the so called "War on Poverty."This guy Stiglitz wants to talk about how expensive this war in Iraq is when a typical liberal like him won't even acknowlege the trillions upon trillions of dollars on the failed socialistic policies of big Government programs to combat so called poverty and welfare programs.
Give me a break people don't realize that if we spent the amount of money on the military that we have spent on these big government Communist liberal social programs our military would hardly have any casualities in combat due to upgrades in technology.
But in order for the liberals such as the Democrats to stay in power they need to continue this class warfare crap all the time.
