Obscene, but Bush wasted $78 billion in Iraq.
To date, the War in Iraq has cost us @ $700 billion.

True enough. But that was over how many years? We just spent that and
more on bailing out Unions, GM, Chrysler, ACORN and just 13% of $780
Billion in one year was spent on things that were actually important.

One year compared to...um...8?

Some of us consider it all wasted.

Some of us believe that the recent "stimulus" package is a complete
waste and, frankly, have been proven in general, right.

You forget "pesky" facts like the stock markets are rebounding quite
well, Ford has had a good quarter, GM is coming back, houses starts in
many markets are up, etc.
