I wonder how many Americans realize the government is borrowing money to pay for the Iraqi War?

The baseline budget numbers alone are mind-numbing: more than $490 billion in federal spending on the Iraq war so far -- including interest on the war debt. That's nearly 10 times the $50 billion the Bush administration originally estimated the war would cost.

The untold story -- one every American needs to hear -- is that the costs of this war go beyond these budget numbers. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee has determined that if the President's 2008 funding request is approved, the full economic cost of the war -- including the economic impact of deficit financing, the future care of our wounded veterans, and disruption in oil markets -- will total $1.3 trillion just by the end of 2008.

That's $16,500 for every family of four. And, if this war continues, that figure could jump to almost $37,000 for a family of four over the next decade.
And that war debt? From whom are we borrowing? Who will our children and grandchildren owe money to? To whom will this country owe?

Sparks19 is right.
Lower taxes but more programs
You cannot lower taxes and make more war!
