Another $1 million per day war?
Despite roadblocks in forming an international coalition, President Obama appears undeterred and advisers say he would be willing to retaliate against Syria on his own. This is a very familiar position, aligned with the previous administrations of both Bush Presidents. Currently U.S. tax payers are supporting nearly $1 million a day to cover the cost of war in Iraq since 2003.
Why is this important?
The US Economy demands attention from the Obama administration. Escalating our military presence in the Middle East will not make Americans safer, nor will benefit our economy. Americans deserve sincere attention to make them safer, and support a realistic opportunity to earn a living wage. Consistent commitment to military action in the Middle East in the guise of National Security is going to make the US less safe and bankrupt our country.
