War bonds proposed to pay for Afghanistan, Iraq conflicts
• McClatchy NewsLawmakers in both houses of Congress introduced legislation to pay for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq using a throwback to prior U.S. conflicts: war bonds. Saying it would "promote national shared sacrifice and responsibility," Rep. Meek, D-Fla.,
GREAT IDEA!!! WONDERFUL!!! TERRIFFIC!!! REALLY FORWARD THINKING!!!
In fact, lets base and fight the whole Afganistan and Iraqi wars on selling these bonds. Surely enough people will buy them to pay for these wars several times over. We need go no futher in debt for these wars. With these bonds we won't have to sell some other sort of Social Security program to the rubes again.
Added to that, I propose the Fat Cat Congressmen and Senators pull their wealth to float the wars until enough bonds are sold and can take the reigns.
