Enough money to create universal healthcare (I know, create, NOT fund), and to start Manhattan projects on alternative energy. Certainly this should be taken with a grain of salt, but you can't say the war has justified what developments we could have made. That's not even counting the lives lost and soldiers injured.
Liberal leaning and then some. I can't think of a better way to spend a trillion dollars then to blow up countries. Universal Healthcare? Talk about boring me out of my effing mind. Lets blow some sh-t up instead. For example, I could have bought my family some healthy food for this upcoming weekend, but instead I spent my $200 of disposable income on some pretty effing sweet fireworks from Northern Indiana. I'm just like Dubya... awesome.
