The cost of War.

such huge amount is spending at war.

Globally we have lot of problems, as poverty that is declared mother of all worst evils, environment, health care, shortage of food, uneducated society that is great hinderances on the way of secured, prosper way toward progress.what is the precise result of this so called spending of hard earned money of US peoples? This is the question that must be explored carefully.

Where is the outrage?

The Bush Administration bears culpability for these costs, but surely Congress could have played a role in reining this in?! Most Americans now think the Iraq invasion was a mistake, and the costs for this war have played a major role in bringing this country to the brink of financial ruin. Yet we're all still just living our own lives, not raising too much fuss about it, just trying to get by. Surely our "leaders" know that much of the electorate is asleep while they are getting away with murder.
