Yes, to the very point, Audrey, it is quite disturbing the amount spent...it shouldn't be permitted. Great brevity!
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah! Thank you!
DeleteOh what an astute observation that is! Interesting image.
ReplyDeleteSadly, you're right.
ReplyDeleteNice one.
ReplyDeleteYes, costliest quo ever.
Might it have wiped out the debt? :-)
Ain't that the truth? Very nicely written.
ReplyDeleteIt was only a billion or so~chump change to us fat cat americans.
ReplyDeleteDid i just hear China giggling?
I would laugh, but it i sad--
Delete18 billion dollars. Wow. Imagine if we put that toward our educational system.
ReplyDeleteI know--can you imagine??
DeleteSometimes maintaining the status quo is like treading water rather than drowning, however.
ReplyDeleteK
Sometimes it is the best we can do-
DeleteHa. Very snappy. So much spent for the same. Lets hope they realize compromise doesn't have to be a dirty word.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping so!
DeleteIsn't this so sad ~ What a waste ~
ReplyDeleteExactly!
ReplyDeleteThis is sad and you said it so well!
ReplyDeleteBright and bold ;D
Sadly true.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the balance of power is unchanged, but the endorsement of Obama, no matter how slim marks a change in elector expectations and that must be healthy if hard decisions are to be made and supported.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was 2 billion, but still that is a LOT of money. Been trying to think who that money eventually goes to.
ReplyDeleteoh my..true that.. i also heard it was 2 billion...just crazy in a way
ReplyDeleteEven 2 billion is a lot--very crazy times
DeleteThanks for the visit Audrey :) I agree with this post (btw)
ReplyDeleteThank you Bren---sad
Deletei dunno...i think after the news today of states seceding...it wont stay status quo for long...
ReplyDeleteOh no--I need to go look at the news--I've been teaching all day and missed that
DeleteAudrey, I guess it's not just in the election but in anything that people always strain to maintain the status quo. Thanks for sharing!
