This was an emergency appropriation. This money would have never been spent on anything in the US, nor would it have been in your pocket since taxes haven't been raised to pay for it.
Wars and natural disasters are things that can't be planned for, yet must be paid for. And if you don't like paying for the Iraq War at 300 Billion, would you prefer paying for another 9/11 with 1,000,000 people out-of work and a stock market crash? Perhaps you don't remember sitting home watching the TV for weeks after the World Trade Center attack, wondering when the next attack would occur? Perhaps you don't remember why we went into Iraq to begin with? We didn't choose between "roads and bridges" and "going to war for the fun of it". We went to war because we believed Saddam had nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and was going to give them to terrorists. 72 senators believed that too. 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing. > > Damn, that Google is AGAIN your best (search) > friend!
