According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money.

$2.4 trillion plus. The cost of fighting ISIS, Gadhafi and the costs of things to come.
And yet in the US, there are far more important and pressing needs that could be solved with that money. Education, Healthcare, infrastructure, jobs, social housing, etc. The problem is War is more profitable for the few.
This is without the lives of Americans lost due to it putting their priorities on trying to solve other people's problems before their own. That has always ended in making other people's problems worse.
This isn't an attack on America or Americans, only that tiny minority who want to fill their pockets with other people's money.
