    Great, not nearly as bad as expected.

    Now if we could only figure out how Obamabot added over 4 trillion to the national debt in 3 years. It's certainly wasn't continuing those wars, which were Dubya's biggest bluffs.

    Actually, I would've pegged 30b as a little low.

    the entire $3T on Afghan and Iraq totally wasted. Human-Americans will have nothing to show for it, while the MIC war profiteers and MIC's investors are doing extremely well.

    The trend would have continued under McLiar/pitbull . The trend was started under dubya and the Repugs, has tremendous momentum/carry-forward, quite apart from the current mob of Repugs obstructing all govt solutions, since they swear govt IS THE problem.

    This is intentionally distracting bull : a wasted $30B is a fake issue. "If we could just stopped that kind of waste, everything would be OK" A bigger issue is the Repugs contracting military affairs to for-profit MIC at many times the cost of the military doing it. head knew lying the US into Iraq to get Saddam for WTC would stuff $10Bs into Halliburton.

    The real issue is that Iraq and Afghanistan are wasted $Ts.
