Me either. Kinda surprised.

(Admitted by the feds, mind you - admission being given by third parties - I.e. who really knows? I sure don't, its all a bunch of people trying to shape made-up-at-random "facts" to their own benefit, and the liar can be on none to all sides)

Not saying that I think it was some conspiracy omg. I'm saying I don't know, can't know, and thus, don't care. Kinda agree with CDR; the thing I DO know is that we lost two financial centers, and are still? In wars that have cost at least 1.15 trillion and over 900k lives, so it'd better have been worth it.
I care more about the possibility that we're over 200 trillion in debt because the gummint doesn't have anyone to hold itself to standardized accounting practices like the rest of us have to do.
Something else that would be nice... It's entirely possible that all these wars actually are in the national interest. It sure would be nice, if such is true, if wild and wacky things like... actually being upfront with us... not clamping down on their own citizenry while blowing up everyone elses'... taking votes on these matters and actually bothering to put forth some sort of real argument for what's being done and actually having public support for things that are being done...
Yeah, it's all a pipe dream. Yeah, it's wildly untenable, politically. But damnit...
Sure is nice just being an entry on a ledger.
Morey 2020.
