The war IS one huge tax surcharge... just 20 years from now rather than today.

re: And a tax surcharge for global warming.

And a tax surcharge for universal health care.

And probably a tax surcharge for Social Security.


Those are all permanent programs so should be covered in the general taxes and budget.

The war is a temporary expenditure and thus a surcharge makes more sense. Or maybe you guys figure war is a permanent program also.
