Cheney said oil revenues from Iraq would pay for it. What a joke.

Well its not very good as a joke or a serious statement, but its also irrelevant to the point.

Divide $800 bill, plus maybe a couple of hundred billion on other operations, over all that we've spent on oil for the last several decades and its rather modest as a "subsidy". It it was a subsidy, which of course it isn't.
