Archie, according to CBO the Iraq war cost $709 billion. Yes it would be nice to have that money back. But the federal government has also spent $8-$10 trillion on the war on poverty which I consider it to be an even bigger waste of money. But I am not wishing I had it back because it is like wishing I could turn rocks into gold. It would be nice but it isn't happening. Not "blaming LBJ", just pointing out a few of the facts some of the nostalgic writers on this forum never seem to recall.

But look at it another way, it took 8 years for Bush to add $709 billion to the national debt. Obama is adding that much and more every 3 months!!! So quit worrying about what Bush did over an 8 year period and focus like a laser beam on what Obama is doing to us every month.......it has got to stop and wishing we could recover past money spent by the government is not a solution.
