(36,063 posts)how much money is being thrown away money on useless wars and lost on unaccountable spending at the Pentagon?

(1,709 posts)that allowed so much waste? Was DeMint a part of the government spending on wars and unaccountable Pentagon spending? That spending bolsters their contributors and they will never stop doing it. So, the occasional road is at least something tangible Americans can see that their money was spent on. They're fighting tooth and nail to keep those spending practices while cutting help to the very people who have contributed and could contribute one day.

(12,556 posts)You expected truth and logic instead of propaganda and demagoguery? He's a douche bag too, but to say he's a douche bag teabagger would be redundant as is with the entire GOP. Not one honest broker among them. Purging them from the landscape would clear the air and get us out of the depression. Republicans depress the economy and the national psyche. Misery loves company.

(812 posts)2 Billion is a rubbish number obviously meant to cover an estimated 20 Billion lost through stockholder defection and other collateral damage to the economy.
It would be different if the JPM was the sole loser but the Taxpayer is on the hook again and the Fed will just loan them more to cover it at .01% interest.
If You or I tried that shit then We would be in Jail instead of the Senate kissing Our ass and pandering for more campaign donation's.
Hopefully this footage will surface again as the election draws near.

(42,290 posts)End the wars. Stop paying outrageous prices to military contractors. Stop putting marijuana possessors in jail. Stop subsidizing the most profitable corporations in human history - the oil companies. Stop the bleeding of tax revenues by ending tax havens in Switzerland, The Cayman Islands and anywhere else that money is going outside America.
THAT's where the money is "lost".
