Bill Bonner: Americans pose a bigger threat to themselves

BillBonner

“With the numbers before us, you’d think we would at least stop wasting time and money protecting ourselves from terrorism and other bugaboos. The US ‘security’ budget, all in, is a fabulous sum — about $1 trillion a year. It seems foolish. The return on investment is paltry.  By comparison, suicide prevention – as near as we could make out – is barely a footnote in the federal budget, only about $56 million a year. This despite the fact that the risk to the typical reader posed by himself is about 1,000 times greater that the risk from ‘terrorists.'”
