An interesting side note on deficits...
The total cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars from 2001 up until now - ten years worth - is about $1.16 trillion.
If we took that entire amount, and magically applied it just to the 2011 budget (projected deficit of $1.56 trillion), we would still have a deficit in this one year of $400 billion.
And then all that money would be gone, and then there's next year, and the year after that, and the year after that...
While you're looking at that link, note in passing that the $787 billion "stimulus" bill alone was more spending than the entire cost to date of the war in Iraq.
