The point is these things (education, health care, energy infra-structure) were all things that needed to be taken care of. But instead of tending to that, the Bush administration was off spending a trillion- no!! excuse me- BORROWING A TRILLION- for his invasion of Iraq...
But guess what? Our domestic problems didn't go away, the larder is worse than empty, and we've got to deal with these domestic issues.
So yeah...you, and I, and generations to come are going to pay for this. But if Obama doesn't deal with it now, two things are for dead certain:
The price will just be higher later
and
Should the Republicans send another right wing conservative administration into the White House, they aren't going to make the tough decisions to fix any of this. They'll just say "we can't afford to fix any of this" while they run off and BORROW another trillion, IF, they can find someone stupid enough to lend it to us.
