$10.6 billion please

Well in addition to the colossal amounts of tax-payer money we are dumping into Iraq what's another $10.6 billion?
It seems the American tax-payer has deep pockets that we somehow forgot we had.
Since 2001 the U.S. has provided over $14.2 billion in aid to Afganistan.
I wonder how much the American tax-payer can afford.
Whatever happened to the idea of raising monies via War Bonds?
So it goes.
