I'm really not getting drawn into a hypothetical which can neither be proven or disproven. My point is simple:
Some in this thread have contended that, because of the money being spent on the GWOT, much needed money is being diverted from social programs and to the war machine. My point is that any government who will overspend $1.4T is not robbing from Peter to pay Paul. They are spending as much as they want on whatever they want.
