Seriously, I looked into your eyes, America, saw deep into your soul. So let’s get honest and officially call it “America’s Outrageous War Economy.” Admit it: we secretly love our war economy. And that’s the answer to Jim Grant’s thought-provoking question last month in the Wall Street Journal — “Why No Outrage?”
There really is only one answer: Deep inside we love war. We want war. Need it. Relish it. Thrive on war. War is in our genes, deep in our DNA. War excites our economic brain. War drives our entrepreneurial spirit. War thrills the American soul. Oh just admit it, we have a love affair with war. We love “America’s Outrageous War Economy.”

war is good for the economy just like cannabalism is good for you. yea, i secretly love being out of work because of the war. there's plenty of outrage, it just doesn't get much press coverage.

What I want to see is the IRS breathing down their necks at the Pentagon. The IRS wouldn't leave a friend of mine alone over $1,500 dollars. They ended up taking his car. But on the other hand the Pentagon can just loose trillions of dollars and it is A ok. I disagree with Skyaddicted in the fact that we are a consumer culture. As far as us having a war economy, well we do have that as well. People aren't outraged about it because it is not directly affecting the comsumers lives. Now if every comsumer in America gave a trillion dollars to a bank, and the bank lost all that money. I assure you that it would make those comsumers pretty angry. I wonder whose pockets that 2.3 trillion dollars went in?

"If the national debt was almost ten trillion dollars before the housing bill and, if my estimate is right, that approximately ten trillion dollars has been stolen since 1997, then do we have a debt problem or do we have an aristocracy problem?"

two option its either they are spending it on a secret government project that only certain people know about or there are some serious cash being made by a certain group of people in the military.

That 2.3 trillion only refers to the accounting for the year 2000. There is far more money than that missing at this point. This news was originally announced on September 10, 2001. It disappeared from the news in the wake of the attacks and is only now getting some attention. In the words of an old Tibetan saying, it is like waking up and discovering that all your horses have been stolen.
Here is a big hint on where the money went: WTC7 contained the offices and records of the IRS, SEC (security & exchange commission), Secret Service, DOD (dept. of defense). Much of the information on numerous ongoing investigations of securities and stock fraud, defense contracts and tax evasion disappeared on September 11, 2001.
I know that it may not look like it from a cursory glance, but the article link I posted above is well worth your attention in getting a more intelligent perspective on what this is about. The 2.3 trillion is just one part of a much larger scam; the looting of the entire US treasury. It may already be too late.
Please note, I am not playing the Current game of trying to get my story to the top of the list. I am just here to talk issues and discuss important events with you all. Do yourself a favor - at least bookmark it for later.
Teach your children.
Peace.
