Most of what we spend on the MID is worse than a complete waste.

Take the Iraq War. When the following article was written we were at $800 Billion. We're probably coming up on a cool Trillion by now.

Now if we had just taken that trillion dollars out into the desert in New Mexico and piled it up into a big mountain and burned it, we would be ahead of the game. Instead we used it to make a couple of hundred million new enemies all over the world that all hate our guts.

Still trying to promote proven failed economic policies huh? You are damn near as bad as the NRA fanboys.

Uh, no. Government spending, an absolutely opaque domestic policy and arbitrary tax policy is what lengthened the Great Recession such that it exceeded the average duration of any prior recession.

The same arbitrary tax policy existed under Dubya. He had ample opportunity to do something about it. Instead, he trashed the economy with a couple of wars, expanded Medicare and tax cuts, not to mention lax regulatory oversight of banks.

He trashed the economy to the extent that we experienced the second biggest economic downturn in history. You don't turn something like that around quickly, particularly when the GOP seemed determined to make it worse.

It's a wonder how thin these rants about the US economy are these days.

12 million new jobs under Obummer
Stock market tripled under Obummer
No dead US soldiers for over 90 days

What's a rightwing zealot to do?

And let's not forget the FIVE MILLION emails that his Big Brother George "lost" when he was President.

Even for a Republican White House that was badly stumbling through George W. Bush’s sixth year in office, the revelation on April 12, 2007 was shocking. Responding to congressional demands for emails in connection with its investigation into the partisan firing of eight U.S. attorneys, the White House announced that as many as five million emails, covering a two-year span, had been lost.

The emails had been run through private accounts controlled by the Republican National Committee and were only supposed to be used for dealing with non-administration political campaign work to avoid violating ethics laws. Yet congressional investigators already had evidence private emails had been used for government business, including to discuss the firing of one of the U.S. attorneys. The RNC accounts were used by 22 White House staffers, including then-Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who reportedly used his RNC email for 95 percent of his communications.

As the Washington Post reported, “Under federal law, the White House is required to maintain records, including e-mails, involving presidential decision- making and deliberations.” But suddenly millions of the private RNC emails had gone missing; emails that were seen as potentially crucial evidence by Congressional investigators.

The White House email story broke on a Wednesday. Yet on that Sunday’s Meet The Press, Face The Nation, and Fox News Sunday, the topic of millions of missing White House emails did not come up. At all.
