The post you don't wanna read
This is something you should know about me, numbers stick for days in my head. Don't ask me why but I can go for hours telling you percentages that no ones cares to know until you pray to every God that has or hasn't step the earth yet for help.
All my brain recollected from reading today's newspapers was this:
- Greece is spending a record $1.5 billion on security for the games and Greece's Cost for Olympics Tops $7 Billion.
- Bush signed today United State's 2005 budget, for defense it'll reach 417.000 million dollars, of which 25.000 millions will be destinated to support operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. 78.000 millions the cost to buy new arms, airplanes that don't need any tripulants such as Predators, Strykers and destructors DD(X).
10.000 million dollars go to the development of an antimissiles defense system and 100 millions to modernize airplanes that belong to the air force, 39 helicopters Black Hawk, a Virginia submarine, 3 destructors and a 3.5 % salary increment for troops.
So summing up I'll put everything in billions:
417 billion dollars for defense.
of which:
25 billion to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan
78 billion to buy new arms and combat airplanes.
10 billion to develop antimissile system
100 million to buy Black Hawks, submarines, destructors.
3.5% salary increment for troops.
I have just 3 things to say, yes that's right just 3 not a million or a billion, just 3. And I promise I won't say million or billion anymore I can see how tired you are of reading it and I wouldn't like to piss you off dear reader.
One, if Keynes was alive he would be really proud of you Mr. Bush, you are one in a ..trillion. (I apologize)
Two, if any country was to spend that amount of money arming themselves would that be a reason for Mr. Bush to attack them also?
Three, I hope Bush doesn't attack Greece for creating a defense system and spending money in arms for the Olympics. Imagine the irrational that he creates the war, if he wins, will anyone still want to give him a medal? I guess I will find out soon. To me a medal equals votes for Bush in Nov.
Now if you don't agree tough, I warned you, go back and read the tittle.
