I said bush spent 4 trillion. That is a fact (actually he spent more than 4 trillion). We went into this decade with Bush as a new president with a 3.5 trillion dollar debt. We leave it with a 9 trillion dollar debt. Here is a great source. 1999: US to buy back national debt news.bbc.co.uk (debt about 3.6T) 2004: Bush raises budget debt ceiling to 8 trillion more than double 1999 amt today: The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.66 billion per day since September 29, 2006! brillig.com You are trying to wordsmith around the issues. The biggest items in the Bush budget that spent us out of house and home were 1) Iraq, 2) dept of homeland security a HUGE pork program 3) various other pork programs like the medicare part D and farm subsidies. Those items are where the 4 trillion went. How much went to Iraq vs DHS is somewhat irrelevant in my opinion since they are both bogus aims at "fighting terrorism" but really all they do is spend money.

do you have a source for the one trillion dollar cost of 911? Sorry that doesn't jive. This source says 911 cost 27 billion which is a high end estimate. Certainly less than the cost of the Enron collapse. ccc.nps.navy.mil I don't think you know how much money one trillion is. It is a staggering sum that will take decades to pay off if we ever do. Was 911 worth paying a trillion or even half a trillion for retrubution? NOPE. This is the kind of thinking grown ups have to do, Hawk. take your emotions out of it,this is real money.
