What percentage of tax revenue do you think goes to bombing civilians in Afghanistan?
- s1artibartfast 7y agoI think 20% of tax revenue and 50% of discretionary budget goes to the military. I think this is too much and that there are areas with much better ROI where this money could be spent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget
- oh_sigh 7y agoOk, let's continue on. What percentage of the military budget do you think goes to bombing civilians in Afghanistan?
- s1artibartfast 7y agoI was using the bombing of civilians as a illustrative example and dont know the true cost, as it would depend on how you choose to measure it. For example, if you divided the appropriated 750 billion for the war in Afghanistan by the 40k civilians killed,you would get around 50 million per civilian. This neglects the time value of money, so in that respect, it would be an underestimate. However, this is all besides the point I stated in my last post. It seems you have on opinion on the subject, and if you would like to discuss it, I suggest you state it plainly.
