Anyone got an extra 3 trillion dollars you want to spend on another war?

We could if we wanted to. There's no solvency issue.

The catch is... Republicans just need war. They have to please the Defense industry and the military. Gotta make up another boogeyman.

Almost every one running for their party's nomination is not opposed to going back in.

I have no doubts we are going back in, no matter who wins in 2016 or holds the majority, assuming we manage to hold off that long.

It's $6 trillion when you factor in interest on incremental war debt and veteran's benefits.

Throw the tax payers a tax cut bone and most don't care about debt.

Why would we?

Public debt is stimulative to the economy.

That is yet another plus for Walker. At least he has the stones to admit it or understands it is a reality.
News flash ! We will be back over there and any Candidate that says or thinks we wont is either an idiot unfit to be Commander in Chief or lying. You can thank Obama.
That is of course if we aren't fighting them over here first. Better strap it up folks it is going to get real ugly by the end of the year.
