Exactly the response i would expect from a neocon. When the facts betray you, resort to poopie jokes.

Funy you would mention only Democrats sweeping things under the rug and spending taxpayer money on ridiculous causes...i suppose Repubs would never do such a vile thing, right? The grass ain't always greener over there in the land of Repubs.

I can copy and paste with the best of them my neocon friend...

Now who are you gonna believe, a Nobel-prize wining economics professor, or el chimpo, er...i mean Bush.

Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel prize-winner in economics, says the Iraq war has cost $3 trillion so far. According to the Guardian, "three trillion could have fixed America's social security problem for half a century."

Some time in 2005, Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes, who also served as an economic adviser under Clinton, noted that the official Congressional Budget Office estimate for the cost of the war so far was of the order of $500bn. The figure was so low, they didn't believe it, and decided to investigate. The paper they wrote together, and published in January 2006, revised the figure sharply upwards, to between $1 and $2 trillion. Even that, Stiglitz says now, was deliberately conservative: "We didn't want to sound outlandish."

So what did the Republicans say? "They had two reactions," Stiglitz says wearily. "One was Bush saying, 'We don't go to war on the calculations of green eye-shaded accountants or economists.' And our response was, 'No, you don't decide to fight a response to Pearl Harbour on the basis of that, but when there's a war of choice, you at least use it to make sure your timing is right, that you've done the preparation. And you really ought to do the calculations to see if there are alternative ways that are more effective at getting your objectives. The second criticism - which we admit - was that we only look at the costs, not the benefits. Now, we couldn't see any benefits. From our point of view we weren't sure what those were."

I take it your not counting el chimpo...er, i mean Pres. Bush's $700 BILLION DOLLAR taxpayer handout to the banks right before he left office that got this ball rolling in your numbers then, huh? Why am i not surprised. You can only stick your head in that hole in the ground for so long before you have to come up for air.

Bush.....Bush....Bush....700 Billion dollar handout? Yea, he allocated that right before he left office. :blink: Last time I checked, the POTUS may PROPOSE something......Then a bunch of people somewhere have to actually VOTE on that proposal. Yea.....yea, that's the ticket. Can you say Demorat-controlled Congress?? Say it s-l-o-w-l-y if that may help you.
Also, speaking of the banking mess, and proposals, the Bush Administration went before Congress, pleading with them to do something about Fannie-Freddie and the mess they were in AND the meltdown that would come if something was not done. This was the previous 12 to 16 months PRIOR to what happened. In that time frame, Bush Admin officials went before the DEMORAT Congress not once or twice, but on SEVENTEEN occasions!!

Have you come up for air yet?? Hmmm?
