Not sure if that link works, but it should.

Also, why don't you care about hamburgers? Do you not eat hamburgers or other prepared food? Don't shop at stores? Etc., etc., etc.?

Well, they produce a product that many consumers value. And they provide all their employees with a more desirable job than they could get elsewhere. What more are you looking for?

Since you want numbers why don't you ask oldogg, like I did, about the "off budget" expenditures, and add those in. I'm just curios what happens over those last three years when you add in the 455 billion dollars that the Iraq war has cost, or the projected 250 we will owe to cover benefits for injured veterans.
