tax dollars in his farce of a War against Terror?

Probably. It's always amazed me that conservatives seem really opposed to using tax dollars for governmentally funded programs that will help millions of people (I'm not talking about welfare, before someone jumps on me about that - there ARE other programs that help EVERYONE on which tax dollars are spent) but they're willing to pour an endless stream of tax money into a war that has no discernible plan or exit strategy.

Since the War on Terror began as an answer to the unwarranted attacks on American soil back on September 11, 2001, I find no reason to believe my life would have improved in the last 6 years. Actually, I have every reason to believe that, if Bush had not taken the war to the Middle East and returned the favor of attacking a country's home court, the terrorists responsible for the attacks on 9/11 would still be attacking the US today -- not just our soldiers in the Middle East...whom they attack every day, but our cities, buildings and homes with US addresses! I am thankful he attacked Iraq. I regret that men and women have died, but I am thankful for the servicemen and women that volunteer to make that necessary sacrifice to preserve freedom in my homeland!

No, because he actually gave me a tax cut that improved my "quality of life". Had it been a Democrat in office, my taxes would have gone up instead of down, and my quality of life would have been worse. You are just spewing liberal rhetoric to bash the President. I have lived long enough to realize that I ALWAYS pay more taxes under a Democrat than I do under a Republican.

Call your Democrat Congress person and tell them to take their pork projects out of the War on Terror spending bill then.

I'm not sure that it wuold have been any better over the past four years, but I'm afraid that America will feel the financial sting in the years to come.

Guess it's a trade off against having billions of dollars wiped out by planes taking out buildings.
So; No.

It wouldn't have changed. I got a $50k job straight out of college after the war in Iraq had started.
