Giving that money to everybody would just increase inflation and nullify a large portion of the credit. You can't just make more money and everybody's rich, you need the resources to back it up.

Now if that kind of war money (actually substantially less, since it's bankrupting the country) were put into education, healthcare, or perhapse a multitude of disease research, I'd be a good deal more supporting. It seems, though, when kids can't get education and people can't get medicare, we just don't have the money..... but a war in a Iraq? Oh yes, we'll spend any amount on that, here's the funds!

Okay so I estimate about 270-300 billion dollars has been spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since around 2003 and thats a low estimate. Now there are around 300 million people that live in the USA. So which would you rather have? A check from the government for close to $1000 or a bunch of dead troops, Bin Laden (a supposed terrorist mastermind, on a kidney dialysis machine) still at large and a massive INCREASE in terrorism. Oh and a country that we have to baby-sit for a monthly Rating: 5
