Yup only 3 Trillion

No its only a bit over one trillion, and yes that's "not much at all" compared to all the other extra spending over time, and esp. not compared to all the additional entitlement spending coming down the pike. Not having spent that money would be helpful, but its a drop in the bucket long term, and even over the period of time when we have had the wars its a small portion of the increase.
