Too Bad We Didn't Just Burn That $6,000,000,000,000

Well, I've said this before, but that was back when we thought it might cost a mere $3 trillion:

You know what we could have done that would have been a better use of that money?

Put it in a big pile and burn it.

At least then we'd have just lost the money and not used it to buy ourselves a world of hurt.

I wish somebody would attempt to figure in the opportunity costs with respect to the Afghanistan war, too.

What a f*cking world-historical blunder.

Though, of course, it's no Solyndra...
