Grow up.

And where's the "outrage" over the past 8 years of neo-con trashing of the country? Never hear much about that from the Repubs. Wonder why.
Ohhh it took years not weeks to spend trillions...

For those whose oral comprehension isn't quite up to speed, study this for a while and see if things become a little clearer...

I’m proud that we passed the recovery plan free of earmarks, and I want to pass a budget next year that ensures that each dollar we spend reflects only our most important national priorities.

If Obama did nothing, our nation would collapse. But I forgot: that's what the neo-cons want, anyway, so I guess they'd be pretty happy with that.

Nobody said do nothing. War is profitable... start another one of those. What to do when our shopaholic program ceases to exist and we are sitting there all blinged out with the bill? What to do since not one of that was spent on any sort of security. In fact just the opposite.... no need for missile defense... nuclear bombs are another one of those mystical problems right wingers create... like octomom....

At least with war you kill off your competition. Blowing money at home for infrastructure only creates a bigger succubus....

That era is over, remember. Two wrongs don't make it right. Looks like you need to grow up.

No it's not. That money's coming back home to Washington, D.C., via the IRS.
