The war on terror didn't put us in this financial mess. The Democrats did starting with Fannie and Freddie and their lies telling the American people there was absolutely nothing wrong.
Bush, McCain and many others knew we were heading for problems and the Democrats (who controlled congress) blocked every attempt to fix it.
Our problem isn't paying the off the war, our problem is paying off the trillions of NEW spending from Obama including his massive government growth, his pet social programs, the continuing bailout of auto companies that are going bankrupt anyway and other billions and billions of other dollars that are going down the toilet.
Our taxes aren't going up to pay for Bush, our taxes are going up to pay for Obama.

This is a slightly different harp. Putting aside whether or not I agree with the war, my question that goes unanswered is :
was there any noise from the fiscal ultra-conservative right wing about paying for it as we go, by raising taxes or whatever other method there might be, rather than deficit spending and thereby "mortgaging our children's future" in order to pay for it?
it's an honest fair question, and there has to be an answer. Do you have one?
