The philosophy of the war being free seems to be that it's OK to blow X dollars, and kill thousands of people if you can also save X+ $ elsewhere.

Using that philosophy, Giambra could've spent tens of million$ on hookers a few years ago, if he had just raised our taxes instead of giving us tax breaks.

And our grandchildren will still be paying for it when they are our age.
