How about we just say that the government spending is overboard and unsustainable in most everything? I bet there are black ops that are way over the top along with everything else. We need an intervention where we take away all the credit cards and put the US in a time out.
The 'black ops' You referenced is funded by the opium coming out of Afghanistan. Check Afghanistan's production in 2001 (7%) to close to 90% now. The US first had the 'opiate pain med epidemic' and now those folks are on heroin.

Only if you include the alleged 200 billion in suppressed wages as part of the deficit figure which it clearly isn't.

I want to understand, that number is about 2% of the debt, so illegals are the only reason US is broke? not war or anything else?

Interesting.
The total cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as of 2011 was $3.7 trillion....
Verify at: www.reuters.com...
(My link isn't broken)
If you noticed the theme is the cost concerning immigration and illegals.....
Was the OP to far over your head? Too difficult to see its meaning and theme ?

How can a human be classified as "illegal"?
What part of them makes them not have a right on earth?

The 19 trillion in debt was not accumulated in one year. 340 billion per year over the last 20 years averaged down per year is about 6 trillion dollars, or about 30% of the debt.

So $3.7 trillion is comparable to $338 billion is it?
Face it, you're a bigot that's bad at maths
