They were wondering how to spend all that extra hundreds of billions of dollars they allocated to the military-industrial complex. Now they know.
Thad@danwentzel We're watching TV, circa 1990. I'm about 7 and my brother about 4. There's coverage of Desert Storm.
Brother asks dad why we're at war.
Dad says, "Well, son, you see those tanks and planes? Those are like the president's toys. You like to play with your toys, right? Well, so does he. If you had toys like that you'd want to play with them too."
It stuck with me.
The Turtle@Thad @danwentzel but it's almost always rich white presidents who act like playing with the toys doesn't have actual consequences. GWBush in particular.
