Of course that it still a crap load of money; but I wonder how much is spent each year supporting people on welfare, you know the ones I’m referring to, the ones that haven’t worked in decades and do nothing but sit around shooting up or drinking their lives away….I’m more pissed about that shit than over a war………A war that I personally think was valid. Mishandled, but valid.

When you're calculating deficit spending don't forget to add in SS trust raiding ($175B) and supplementary spending for Afghanistan/Iraq ($200B), all debt and bringing the operating deficit up to a proposed $575B. That's 4.3% of GDP and what is the forecast increase (growth) in GDP?
