For years, the media has reported billions of dollars stolen or missing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

While congressional leadership is rolling back on essential programs (and even terminating the 200-year-old page program to save just $5 million), they are doing little on the billions that have been stolen by our allies — or ending the three unpopular wars.

When this was first happening it was obvious that they were looting the US Treasury dry to bankrupt the country. Funny how they bend over backwards to flush perfectly good money right down the toilet with war. We ought to stop that war stuff. Just a thaught.
Television has become the ethos of the mainstream of America. Like a cat watching a flushing toilet.
