>I would like a change, but we have had this "war" thingy and I'm sure it costs more than usual. No matter who wins, there will be a cost for that. I also think we should be taking some of Iraq's oil money to help pay for it.

Yup, there is that war thingy and the total long term cost will be absurd. Just like Wolfowitz pointed out the oil will pay for most of the 30 billion price tag.

We also had this Medicare expansion thingy, giant energy bill thingy, ... Looking at non-defense spending and it is hard for me to see how "dems" are the big spenders.
