Sadly you're correct about the dollars but I think abit off the mark. Both parties vote us into Iraq and the Dems have only put up token resistance to spending the money. The president agreed not veto out their pet pork money if they gave the money for the war. The majority of both parties sold out to bring a few bucks back to their distract. Their own preliminary budgets calls for over 200 billion dollars to be spent on the war. The squabbling early this year was over peanuts. Even if they win the White House we aren't leaving.
But to look on the bright side of things. Hmmm, sorry there is no bright side. The cost of the war is quite small compared to the total debt of America. As a nation we're almost 25 trillion in the hole. I'll be generous and say we only have that much in unfunded liabilities coming in the near future. The numbers are probably much worst since no can make heads or tails out of how the government balances their books. Using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles the annual deficits have been shown to be off by as much as 95%! So sorry if I burst anyones bubble but there never was a surplus and the blanced budget that President Clinton claimed wasn't balanced. It just wasn't as bad as normal.
It's sadly strange that a country that can't save a dime thought it could save the world.

Here is a cut and paste of your question with my reponses in caps....it's just to separate out what I say, it's not me shouting at you:
Bush -What goes though his head and the 20 % sho support him? WHAT?
Spends 400 million dollars per day on Iraq (THAT IS 12 BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH ON AVERAGE.)- He spends borrowed money (HE BORROWS THE MONEY FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (REMEMBER, CONGRESS HAS TO APPROVE OF THIS). HAVE YOU HEARD OF TAX RETURNS? WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM? OH, WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BORROWS TOO MUCH MONEY!) - on a foriegn nation (WOW, IRAQ IS A FOREIGN NATION?) - that kill American soldiers. THE NATION DOES NOT KILL SOLDIERS, TERRORISTS DO.
He could spend it on border patrol (HE ALREADY APPROVED THAT MONEY, ASK THE CONGRESS OR SENATE WHAT THE H**L THE DEAL IS- no he spends it on people several thousand miles away THOSE PEOPLE ARE OUR SOLDIERS DING BAT!
He could put that into health care (WE ALREADY HAVE THAT! IT'S CALLED AHCCCS AND YES, IT SUCKS. DON'T LIKE IT? GET A BETTER JOB PEOPLE- Nope mass interest rates from borrowed money on somone other than you the American people - AND WHAT PARTY IS WELL KNOWN, THAT GOES ON THE PLATFORM OF RAISING TAXES???
What is up with that YOU TELL ME, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT- Why do Republicans support massive debt on a loseing war and people who hate you - WE DON'T SUPPORT MASSIVE DEBT OR A LOSING WAR AND WE STILL LOVE YOU DEMS (YOU KNOW, THE ONE'S "WHO HATE US"?). THIS COUNTRY WILL ALWAYS BE IN DEBT, WE WILL NEVER HAVE A SURPLUS. YOU SUPPORT THE TROOPS I SUPPOSE? GO TO ANYONE OF THEM OVER THERE AND GO AHEAD AND TELL THEM THEY SUCK AT THEIR JOB THEN HOT SHOT.
When you could bult a hell of a defense at home say like the border health care or anything you want - YOU MEAN, "BUILT"? SO YOU THINK AN ISOLATIONIST STATE IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY? NEED I REMIND ANOTHER AMERICAN BUSH HATER ABOUT OUR COUNTRY'S STATUS AT THE TIME OF WII? WE WERE AN ISOLATIONIST COUNTRY. SHEESH! THE BORDER DOES SUCK BUT NO ONE HAS A GOOD RESOLUTION OTHER THAN A WALL THAT CAN BE CLIMBED OVER OR TUNNELED UNDER. HEALTH CARE? GET OFF YOU DUFF AND GET A JOB AND GET YOUR OWN, I DID AND SO HAVE COUNTLESS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER AMERICANS.
But no you support a President who spends 400 million dollars per day plus interest on a people that kill your soldiers in the streets
I GUESS THIS NEEDS NO MORE EXPLAINING OTHER THAN LET'S JUST LET OUR SOLDIERS DIE OVER THERE! IS THAT YOUR THINKING? HOW WILL YOU SPIN THIS ONE SABE LO TODO?
Why is that
IT IS THE AMERICAN WAY, WE FREE OPPRESSED PEOPLES.
SO EASY TO DEBATE YOU, A CAVEMAN COULD DO IT.

Enjoy your worthless Polls. See you at the ballot booth in 2008.
Gore and Kerry found out the hard way how accurate polls are. Hell, In the Online Beta polls in 2003, Kerry had an 80% majority.
Then got hammered by over 3,000,000 votes, one of the highest margins ever.
Enjoy your fantasy world...

Yes Milo has a good suggestion. Send your comments to the white house. The President is always willing to listen to the average citizen and what is on the mind of people in these important issues you mention in your question. Perhaps President Bush will invite you to the white house for a round table discussion on your views. Yes , thats the ticket. Send it right along.

WHY IS IT THAT DEMS VOTED FOR THE WAR WITH THE INFO CLINTON GAVE BUSH AND NOW THEY COMPLAIN,
who was behind the dubai trying to run the ports, they give him 5 million a year as a fee, and mobil oil gave him 10 million. do you know , his name is bill clinton. dont forget rep and dems have stupid people
get a labor party for us workers.
dems are for big buisness just as much as the rep. their are more million dollar campain givers to the dems than rep 3 to 1
wendys sunday raised their food prices i asked the managerwhy, he said, minimum wage increased. Did the dems think of that. the midddle class is taking pay cuts to keep jobs in the US more illegals come in everyday. thank you dems for cutting my paycheck and raising prices on everything.

I don't get it either...I am amazed at how many supporters he has on YA, I don't think they even exist...I think Cheney and Rove are on here trying to make it look like he still has support, after he's lied to us repeatedly about the terrorist threats (among other things). I can't believe people can that stupid...it's not possible.
As a side note, when Bush first got into office he bought all of the domain names with "bush" in them (bushsucks, bushblows, fuckbush...) in an attempt to stop people from creating negative websites about him. After about 2 years he figured out that you didn't have to have his name in the domain for people to do a search on him...something most 12 year olds already know.

They are scared to death that "islamofacists" are coming to their house to kill them in their sleep and it's worth a trillion dollars to protect them from this.

The effect of terrorism is priceless. It will blow off all your billions, trillions, and zillions.
