    Putting that into further perspective here are the costs of a few more American wars as a percentage of GDP.

    9.4 percent in 1960 (Vietnam),

    14.2 percent in 1953 (Korea),

    and

    38 percent in 1944 (World War II).

            No, according to the Congressional Budget Office the cost was $709 billion.

                I don't think we want to take any lessons on how to Spend from Either the Republicans or the Democrats. There country is in serious trouble and all great empires have ended in the past and they will not be different.

                    Greg watch Foxnews for awhile. Theres enough proof right there. Hannity wouldn't know a good thing if it jumped up and bit him on his fat head.

                      "Hannity", a republican, used to be balanced by
                      "Coombs", a Democrat, until Coombs retired.

                      I find it interesting that Hannity's critics rarely
                      argue with what he says, but are quick with the
                      stereotypical labels and name calling. "far right
                      wing nuts".

                      What good thing is Hannity missing? <i>"Hannity
                      wouldn't know a good thing if it jumped up and
                      bit him on his fat head.</i>

                      All I saw in the 1st 2 years of Obama's rule was
                      spending like there was no tomorrow by a
                      Democrat Congress, and a Democrat president
                      not stopping it with his veto power.
