Ouch, that hurts right in the pocket book.
But apparently, most people are numb to the pain. So far, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost the average Minnesota family about $20,000.
One would think the penny-pinchers over at the Minnesota [no-]Tax Payers League would be howling loudly about such a large withdrawal from their piggy banks. But they aren't, are they? No, they only scream when we spend a fraction of that amount on educating our kids and keeping them healthy.
Far better to spend a hundred times as much blowing up people who were never a threat to us, and turning thousands of American men and women into corpses or life-long hardship cases -- maimed, disabled, traumatized.
