Was Rush being a "showman" when he promised his rightwing audience not to worry, that the Iraq War would be over in months and would be fully paid for by Iraqi oil?

Bush has cost us 1000 times what illegal Mexicans do. Let's tally up the costs.

Illegal Mexicans cost us, what, about 7 billion max? If that.
And they also do all our manual labor for us. I'm for closing the border but illegals do contribute a lot.

Bush has cost us:

500 billion - 1 trillion for Iraq
500 billion - 1 trillion for energy gouging
500 billion - 1 trillion in doubled health care costs

+ Katrina negligence
+ Ignoring the 8-6 warning about 911
+ Borrowing so much the dollar sank 45%

= Total estimated new deficits under Bush, 7 trillion bucks.
