We spent $1.25 trillion so far on foreign wars, and that's over a ten year period. TARP and Obama stimulus alone dwarf that figure.

Questionable figure, and incomplete...we're not done...and...that's more than TARP and Stimulus combined...look it up...

As do the Bush tax cuts. But at the end of the day, the war costs will probably be closer to $3 trillion, while TARP was basically paid back and (if you believe jobs were saved or created by the stimulus, which you don't), the stimulus will be mostly paid back, as well.
