First of all, the cost of the war is mostly outside the expenditures for defense....combine the two and you have a mighty big percentage. No you don't. Its lower then it was during most of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70's and 80's. Secondly, you can play with percentages all you want but the reality is fiscally the US house is in serious disorder. No in serious disorder, and even if it was the majority of the blame would belong to where the majority of money is spent. That's not on Iraq, nor even on the total spent on defense (including the supplementals)
