The Iraq War alone 1+ Trillion , The Bush Tax cuts, Rather they want to Say they Generated Revenue or Not, For every dime we don’t account for we have to Barrow from China, and Pay them back with 40% Interest. Bush Doubled the National Debt, and walked away with the Economy In Flames, After all his Investments… And the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Spent on Upgrading Iraq’s Infrastructure?
