In a nutshell:
a peer-reviewed study on the cost of keeping aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf from 1976 to 2007. ...came up with a total, over three decades, of $7.3 trillion. Yes, trillion.
Read the article.
Then read this McKinzie report about a possible strategy for finding a solution to oil dependency...
...and then maybe ask yourself why the government doesn't spend more of our money this way.
