>> Ah yes, that unfunded $3 Trillion Iraq War Ah, yes, you idiot. We KNOW the cost of the Iraq War and it was nowhere NEAR $3 Trillion. And every nickel of it was "funded" by the Democrats in Congress. >> an unfunded Drug Bill to benefit big Pharma Yes, that which was the most fiscally sensible health care bill ever to be passed, which has come in massively UNDER BUDGET every year, and which the Democrats opposed solely because it required the recipients to pay a portion of the cost themselves. And that the Democrats recently revised in such a way that the FULL BILL is covered by the taxpayers, and such that costs will spiral out of control since recipients have no skin the game. >> a tax cut to benefit the top 2% so the budget surplus could be blown. You mean the "projected" budget surplus which never developed due to the Clinton Recession followed by 9/11? >> plus a housing bust You mean the housing bust created by Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Bill Clinton '96 revisions to the CRA? THAT housing bust?
