Exhibits A & B are only a couple of the FUBARs America has created in the last half century. <BR/><BR/>The only real reason behind not lifting the current economic sanctions on Cuba is Florida's 27 electoral votes. <BR/><BR/>Whatever party should occupy the White House at the time of an undemocratic Cuba getting the embargo removed will surely lose all congressional, senate, and electoral representatives the Sunshine State has to offer....at least that's the political threat these gutless national parties cite to obfuscate their responsibility to the idea of free markets and free peoples. <BR/><BR/>The current White House occupant seems to be more worried about feigning concern and support for Africa right this second; a tour that will certainly continue until the immediate stories about Cuba subside, allowing The President to return and dodge questions about the situation when no one is looking, and the news cycle has moved on.<BR/><BR/>As far as Iraq...whatever. Again, the current occupant seems to be concerned with anything other than the reality behind the war's failure to produce any real results.<BR/><BR/>"The devil you know beats the devil you don't" any day. President Bush either forgot or didn't care about that. Therefore, we have a quagmire of wasted life and American tax payer money in a hubris attempt to stabilize a region of the world that cannot agree on a ceasefire long enough to change a flat tire. <BR/><BR/>As of today, the Iraq war has cost $496 Billion in monies that could have completely financed the $200 Billion public school building/renovation projects that this country needs, and it could have held inflation in check with other $196 Billion being used as a stimulus and/or a failsafe to hold interest rates in check. <BR/><BR/>We could have also completely financed immigration reform and border security for less capital. <BR/><BR/>Just a thought next time people says we don't have the money to fix these things....we do. We're just using for other stuff that helps people other than the average American citizen/tax payer.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the length. It feels good to get that off my chest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
