re: #251 RogueOne
According to the CRS the Iraq war is costing us $2 billion a week. That’s $104 billion a year. Cutting it out entirely would drop our annual deficit down to $1.4 trillion. It amounts to less than 7% of our annual shortfall.
And how much did the Bush tax cuts cost? and medicare part D? and lost tax revenue from the recession? This deficit didn’t happen in a vacuum.
