Health insurance, no. Afghanistan, yes.

IF THE NEWS report are accurate, President Obama will foolishly soon announce an expansion of our presence in Afghanistan that, combined with Iraq, has already cost the U.S. nearly a trillion dollars and the tragic loss of thousands of lives.

Americans because we can ill-afford the costs will now rise up to use the same argument against the endless conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq? Oh? Should I repeat the question?
