I am what most of the right would call a left liberal, I consider myself a moderate, I vote for whom I think will do the best job. I plan on voting for a republican for governor of my state. I am working hard to save a nest egg so that my wife and I maybe able to retire semi-comfortably and I do not want my nest egg eaten up by taxes, however the 2 or 3 brain cells I have managed to keep healthy tells me we have to finance this God forsaken war somehow. Our educational system is in the tank and sinking, social security is disappearing. Where will I country find the funds? Please help this liberal understand where we will get the trillion dollars we will have spent in Iraq? The latest figures are we have spent 700 Billion, 135 billion this year alone with out the surge. General Mixon says if we tried to pull the troops out tomorrow it would take a minimum 18 months, it took a year to pull out of Kuait under the best of circumstances, so 2 or 3 years minimum to pull out.
