Bowser, I didn't even count the cost of the interest on this "stimulus" bill, or any of the downstream effects of increasing the Federal debt by a trillion dollars in a single shot including effects on entitlement funding, or anything else.

The Iraq War is winding down, and you can find only two professors who manage to cook the numbers on the war past the trillion dollar level. All the cost numbers in that range go back to that one source.

Adding the total of all the fiscal year deficits during the eight Bush years comes to about $2.5 trillion. After an attack on the U.S., running two wars, and what, in a Republican, would be an outlandish spending spree.

The Obama administration is less than a month old.
