Bad Math and War

About 3,000 people died on 9 11 including the terrorists. Because of 9 11 we invaded Afghanistan, for fun we also invaded Iraq. As a consequence we have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and lost over 5,000 soldiers. The terrorists spent a couple thousand dollars attacking us, we have spent a trillion dollars retaliating against their families and other civilians. I think we have proven we were unhappy, how many more lives should we lose and how much more money should we spend to prove our point?

Wouldn't it have been cheaper and saved more Americans to just have nuked each country and killed everyone, hell, we cannot say we have saved civilians, so what is the reason we didn't. If we were trying to prove we were the good guys and that Arabs should like us, I think we failed. So what is and was the point? Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan were ever going to invade the US, they would have needed more boats and planes to do that. Neither could invade their neighbors anymore, so why do we still have troops there? Are we waiting for them to like us as we continue to kill their children?

You know, with all the money spent on these wars we could have paid off all Americans mortgages and student loans. That would have shown them. We could have made America stronger rather than just killing their innocents and a few of their guilties.

Watch This Stock Trade, It Means We All Pay To Make a Few Rich

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own about 80% of all the mortgages in the United States. In 2008 after a whole lot of mortgage companies went broke from the housing bubble, Fannie and Freddie bought the mortgages and then failed themselves except the government took them over. You and I took the liabilities for these mortgages and now Fannie and Freddie are about to recoup their investment and we could see another trillion dollars in revenue. I wrote about this before and pointed out how other stockholders wanted the government to give up it's return on investment in favor of others who bought stock after the crash.

Yahoo - CNBC - Ackman: Fannie 'best trade ... in capital markets'.

Now a Hedge Fund Manager is saying that Fannie and Freddie are the best investments because they are going to pay out big, now that they have paid back their buyout amount and theoretically that the government will stop thinking that they as majority shareholder should get a return on our investment. Should the government give away assets as soon as they make a return? You will get taken advantage of by this new congress, wait, business is betting on this country to lose.
