Trillions of Dollars Down the Drain?

Devorah rocked gently in a trance. “I see a time of plenty thousands of years in the future when there will be enough money, technology and energy to feed, clothe and educate every human being.

 “I see the richest country ever forsake the ideals that made it great and spend 3-4 trillion dollars on fruitless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I see this same country spend another 3 trillion dollars on financial bailouts.” Devorah shuddered and shook her head sadly. “Seven trillion dollars! An unimaginable sum!
