Has NOTHING at ALL to do with spending trillions on the war.
Let me explain simple economics to you. You have something called Expenses and there is something called Revenue.

Taxes = Revenue

Programs funded by government = Expenditures

We have not seen a balanced budget since Clinton. You can come with all the excuses you want but when Expenditures exceed Revenue you DO NOT cut Revenue.

A lot of you express the importance of Iraq, your excuse for a growing deficit so that means you do not want to cut the Expenditures. So to balance the budget you want to CUT Revenues? All of the pork barrel spending equals 2 months in Iraq.. that is not a solution.

I don't see how people can be for a bailout, for War but don't want higher taxes. Maybe if some of you realized that the two are synonymous you wouldn't be so quick to get involved in international matters that do not involve us.
