While I see thread after thread complaining about Obama's Health Care Reform costs .... I think we NEED a reminder of how much George W. Bush's Iraq War cost the U.S. Taxpayer.
THE Iraq war has cost the US 50-60 times more than the Bush administration predicted and was a central cause of the sub-prime banking crisis threatening the world economy, according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz.
The former World Bank vice-president yesterday said the war had, so far, cost the US something like $US 3 trillion ($3.3 trillion) compared with the $US50 - $US60-billion predicted in 2003.
Quote:
The spending on Iraq was a hidden cause of the current credit crunch because the US central bank responded to the massive financial drain of the war by flooding the American economy with cheap credit.
The hypocrisy, as well as the complete, utter, depressingly stark contrast between healthcare and war. To consider that one was considered necessary (war in Iraq) versus the other not being necessary (healthcare) should concern all Americans at how propaganda actually works. And works against the American people and the world's best interests

Squirm all you want, but you're not going to blame BO's screw-ups on Bush. We've had wars before. We've had deficits before. None of them have affected consumer confidence like having this shyster in the White House.
I would like to meet the simpletons who thought war with Iraq would cost only $50-60 billion.
