No I don't I overstated the cost...
Cost of War to the United States | COSTOFWAR.COM Add the Iraq and Afghanistan war together, note you don't get 3 trillion.. Don't assume..
Debt is debt it doesn't matter where it comes from... and if the money borrowed is not part of our national debt as it appears you are inferring, then obama has added more to our debt not less. But you can't count debt added twice by a war...
Lets just assume that we grew tax revenues by 3% perI year, (which is strong growth for the US) this time in 2008 we had taken in 2.53 Trillion for federal income taxes source:
U.S. National Debt Clock 2008 so in 2009 we would have seen 2.6059; 2010 we would have seen 2.684; 2011 we would have seen 2.764; and 2012 we would have seen $2.848 T
As of today we have seen 2.44 T in federal tax revenue... so 407 billion less than if we would have grown 3% every year which would have been very optimistic...
So if we add in the total lost revenue assuming no recession and a really high growth rate for our country... we would account for 2.675 Trillion... Again your math doesn't add up, Obama added over 5.8T... although you appear to be claiming he added more and borrowed it from Social Security, not sure if that's true or not... but you are still missing a large large chunk of why our debt went up so much...
Don't get me started on Medicare, as my wife is a doctor, or will be she graduates from med school this year... The savings via paying doctors less will mean doctors don't see the patients... So yes it's a savings as the patients won't have a doctor... Period, there isn't a doctor I've talked to who hasn't said that... They may see a few out of their own good will, but it will be at a loss to them, and it will be very hard to get an appointment.
Now as to a stronger middle class that's a great theory, but we haven't seen it to date, we've seen the rich get richer and the poor get poorer... And your whole military spending, won't get cut as there are programs
