Vague_Boy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Surprisingly Govt. is spending so much money for war!! Was it unavoiadable?? Best to only start wars during artificially induced boom times like Tony "nice guy" Blair did. Of course, those wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are still dragging on.....

Cliff Clavin Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If they stopped spending on WAR it would possibly collapse the economy even more, the same goes for Criminal activity if that ceased then the economy would just plunder. The economy is a deadly beast that has no morals or opposite, a really finely tuned complex entity that society can't do without now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Next time some prospective MP or councillor, or condem fanboy on this forum, tells you that cuts are inevitable, school building projects must be cancelled, libraries must close, lollypop ladies must be fired...etc...etc...etc...etc...etc then you can ask them how much the last three days and night bombardments have cost. Each missile doesn't come cheap....I bet they cost more than a nurse. Don't let them con you into thinking there is no money, and no alternative to cutting services.

Mantaspook Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It was reported on the news that 112 tomahawk missiles were launched at Libya on day one of the present conflict. Cost of one 'block IV' tomahawk missile is listed at $1,066,465 (£651,037) 112 x £651,037 = £72,916,144. Minimum wage for registered nurse = £20710 Therefore 72.9 million would pay for 3520 nurses for one year. But on the other hand nurses are useless for bunker busting. *All figures as near as dammit according to various sources. Do your own research.

Guest sibon Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Don't let them con you into thinking there is no money, and no alternative to cutting services. Because there definitely is. We could kill fewer brown skinned people and spend the money on improving our own society. That way, both countries win. But our politicians appear to have reason to disguise their small appendages. I'm amazed that this thread is full of people who are shocked at the cost of a cruise missile, but not at their deployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
