>>" 800B in wasted "stimulus" for openers. "<< Are you talking about the stimulus funds that we spent on ourselves and that conservative economists such as Feldstein support and the stimulus that kept us out of an economic Depression. What exactly did the $Trillions we have spent in Iraq and will continue to spend in the future for Vet's care etc, caused by Iraq do for us? Oh yeah, we built schools for those "poor" Iraqi kids who had to become refugees in Syria, Jordan and their own country who now hate us and rebuilt Ramadi and Falluja after we blew them up. And oh yes, we have all those "cities" we built so we can make believe we are home and the palaces we built to house our "diplomats". But hey, the Iraqis are "freeeee" to walk around their walled enclaves, ("neighborhoods") as long as they don't go near any parked cars.
