Added a trillion in national debt...huh?
I'll give you three guesses what that spending has been on over the last three years...but you are only going to need one.
The national debt was artificially low at the end of Clinton's term considering he spent practically nothing on maintaining our military forces. Had he been investing properly in national defense, the debt in 2000 could easily have been 4 trillion.
Considering we were then sucker punched on 9/11, 1.2 trillion to fix our military and rid the world of vermin is money well borrowed in my book.
Historically unprecedented increases in Medicare/Medicaid. Massive increases in Social Security. Across the board increases in all other socialistic spending programs, designed to keep incumbents in office.
There's your three. The WOT is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the budget (just in case that is the "one" you were talking about).
