re: #615 RogueOne

The two wars cost us $104 billion a year. Over a decade that’s less than 70% of one years budget shortfall.

Fair enough. Can I add in Medicare Part D, veterans health care costs, lost productivity to the economy, the diversion of priorities from domestic issues to war issues and tax cuts?

I’ll be honest, I don’t know how many times and for what reason Bush asked for a debt ceiling increase. Obviously spending and revenues were out of whack. I’m not disagreeing they are out of whack now. I will not agree to balancing the budget on the poor, working poor and middle class. If we need to look back, I’m not voting to let the wealth trickle down. Been there, done that, it’s bullshit.
