Here are a few tidbits for you:
Cost of Iraq War to the United States over $845 billion to the U.S., with the total cost to the U.S. economy estimated at $3 trillion.

Iraq's surplus was a total of $80 billion dollars, even with "coalition" forces destroying and raiding their country.
source
Total amount of bailout eclipses 7 TRILLION dollars...

George Bush and his administration has ruined this country. It hasn't happened just yet, but it's coming and a lot of you know it. Do you think
you can spend ~1 trillion in Iraq and ~7 trillion on bail outs and not have Zimbabwe like inflation?
Has any president/administration ever come close to spending this much money? EVER????
George Bush will go down as the president in this history of mankind.
No president has indebted a country like this one. And although hardly anyone realizes it, he IS responsible. HE came on TV and told the population
and congress how dangerous Iraq was. As a matter of fact, him and his buddies lied to us 935 times about what was going on
source ... 935 TIMES!!! So we took him at his
word, we were angry about 9/11, and we went to War. A couple years later, we have a "die hard" free market capitalist (George W.) beg and plead
with us to understand the direness of the situation our economy is in. If we did not immediately become socialist (as if we weren't already) , the
country would collapse and we would all be without food and water and electricity and oh my it would be so dreadful. The people sort of tried this
time, they made a few phone calls to Washington asking their elected officials NOT to go through with a bailout, but Bush/Paulson got the cash they
wanted.
I feel ashamed. I feel sick. Inflation is coming, it's coming very hard. It's coming like we've never seen and we all let it happen. We let
George Bush/Cheney/Paulson/the entire administration/TPTB completely ruin our country.
Any person that believes in this government or its capability to properly govern is delusional and posts by these people will be treated as such.
There is no democratic party, there is no republican party, there are no elections, your vote does not matter, rhetoric is nothing more than rhetoric,
politicians lie, politicians cheat, politicians engage in sex and drug scandals, we hardly hear about it or don't even care and we continue to play
the game...
This is the real America.
