It makes you question the basic decencies of our government, and really humanity in general, when almost $1 trillion has been spent (and probably more so will be spent) to kill people, but we can't chalk up a similar amount to save people's lives.
The total cost goes up more in seven seconds than I made (when I had a full-time job) in an entire year, before taxes.
Also note the disparity in spending. Afghanistan was the actual threat to US security, Iraq the fictitious one. I'd say this ranks third in last two decades of complete and utter debacles by the US government. First and second would have to be the Great Recession and failures in reforming healthcare/creating a public option. I'll leave ranking those to you.
