The GOP and Bush promised a short sanitary war in Iraq. It turned out to be the longest war ever fought in US history. So where did the GOP get the money to pay for it? Now the VA predicts it may be providing health care for wounded vets just from the Iraq and Afghan wars alone for at least the next forty years or more. If the GOP doesn't want to pay for the wounded vets with the extra money then where does the GOP think the money should come from? Its either cut funds for the poor or take it right out of a babies mouth it doesn't matter to them as long as they don't have to pay for it or take responsibility for the damage they've caused.Actually we should present it for what it was.
Republicans criticized how most of Sanders' bill was paid for — with unspent money from the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and the winding down of American military involvement in Afghanistan. The GOP says those are not real savings because no one expected those dollars to be spent as those wars ended.
