Yeah the $571,000,000,000 we spent turning Iraq from an isolated brutal dictatorship into a civil war and terrorist training ground has done wonders for our security. I certainly wouldn't want to see that budget cut.

Sure, but I am not sure that taking $750,000,000 and giving it to large failing corps is doing much good either for our failing economy now. And of course this does not include the money we are sending to the CEO's, the planned amounts to send to the auto companies, and doubtless multitude of others queing up with their hands out.

And btw, the numbers game with the Iraq war are dubious.
