Imagine if instead of all the money spent on the Iraq war had instead been invested in green infrastructure here in the US. Doubly so if 9/11 had been prevented and Afghanistan hadn’t happened either.
If 9/11 didn’t happen, there’s no Patriot Act, no Homeland Security Act, no ICE, etc.
I can’t even fathom how different this country might have been without those defining events.
During the last two years of Clinton’s presidency, we had an actual fucking budget surplus. We could have been debt-free as a nation now, instead of sitting on nearly $40 trillion owed.
