In fact the dollar cost for the wars will never really be known because of the disabling injuries incurred by our veterans. And lets not forget the expense of these wars were never entered into the budget of The United States. We just spent money that we had to borrow.

Thanks for your response but the motive was not to rehash any wars, the Bush administration or any of what you cite.
It was to discuss the health bill recently passed which has not even taken effect yet and the price keeps going up.
I am not sure why those who support this administration and their policies, continualliy when confronted with facts begin to discuss Bush. If you want to discuss the goods and bads of Bush, for some reason almost 4 years later, then start a thread, but that CANNOT be your response every time this man is caught in another lie.
If you have something to offer relative to the health care bill, PLEASE do so...welcome it, but what may I ask would be the point of discussing the cost of wars conducted (with congressional approval) years ago.
Obviously, this is a built in defense mechanism...your assumption being that it is all about Obama vs Bush....not the case, never has been...if you want criticism of Bush, let me know..I can do that....if that is your answer to everything, then my assumption is you just follow what you are told !
