The 3 trillion for Iraq is fairly optimistic No, it isn't. Not by any reasonable estimation. Meanwhile, SS actually helps people while Iraq is killing people. The usual anti-American, anti-military, naive misleading liberal simpleton crock of shit.

Z, > The 3 trillion for Iraq is fairly optimistic while the 4 trillion for SS is pessimistic. SS has been around for decades and will continue to be around for decades. $4 trillion is a ridiculously optimistic prediction, especially when the worker-to-retiree ratio is falling to 2:1. If you think McCain has a good chance of getting elected, and if you think that he'll keep up in Iraq for the next 100 years, then yeah, $3 trillion is optimistic. Tenchusatsu
