I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.

If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington, D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.
When you do not hear a politician say that it will be one of their main concerns to secure our borders and deport all illegals you can depend that we are dealing with "stupid", the lack of ability to perform in a functional capacity. Whether you vote Republican, Democrat or whatever you decide, is your own fate and that of your children.
I do not believe that all the figures in the above statistics are completely accurate and some may overlap. To allow for that deduct 30% from the total. I think there is still plenty for concern.
However, we cannot but a price on the illicit drug trade and how much it costs us in every aspect of our lives. In accordance with that triple an amount you come up with and it still will not be the total damage done to America.
