The Republicans have no plan. Just like the never had a plan for Iraq. Or, Afghanistan for that matter.
The Repubs just wing it as they go along and if things turn out good, it's God's will. If they turn out bad, it's Congress's fault....

And the Democrat plan is...
Raise taxes of course.
I personally would bet that over the next 4-8 years. As the value of the American dollar has dropped, prices for our goods and services will also drop overseas. This, in time, will create sales, and profits. Taxable profits. An increased American economy over and above what we already experience. Who so ever is in office at that time will be in position to take the credit for nothing they had done.

They don't have a plan. It is completely INSANE. They refuse to increase taxes and they refuse to bring the troops home. The only way the current republicans can pay for it will be to print more money out of thin air and increase inflation and diminish the value of an already low US dollar. The only republican who even talks about this huge economic problem is Ron Paul, if you don't know who he is, I urge you to look him up. He never voted to raise taxes. He voted against going into Iraq in the first place. And he wants to BRING THE TROOPS HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. He is the only republican who understands the value of the dollar and is willing to realize that we cannot win a war on a tactic (terrorism is a tactic).

First it is a projection and not real numbers, just like Clinton's $1 Trillion Surplus was projection and protrayed as actual. Who knows what is going to happen in the next 10 years? assumption that we will still be at war in Iraq is absurd.

Stop paying Californians $232 billion a year in entitlements (aka Democrat cash for votes program) would be my choice. But probably just finance it over twenty years and keep wasting my tax dollars on interest payments.

Tax payers... I'd rather the government spend my money getting rid of murderous leaders and terrorists in the middle east then on Billy Bob and Bobby Jane here in America bc they don't feel like working.

the number is misleading. In order to arrive at anything even close to that one has to project interest in the long term. Then, they do not reduce the figure to present day value. What a crock.
The cost of the war will be borne by every freedom loving American who walks on the face of this earth. Stop carping.

Their plans are to leave the problem in the lap of the next president. I suspect it will be left for our grandchildren to pay no matter which party wins next.

Plan? Ignore it, pass the debt on, borrow more money from communist China, sell our roads and bridges to Dubai, print more worthless pieces of paper.
Blame it on the liberals, that always works.
