To put this in a bit of perspective, World War II cost an estimated 1.6 trillion dollars for everyone involved in the fighting altogether at the time, according to what I've read (anyone with a more accurate source can correct me). Adjusted for inflation, that's roughly $15 trillion. In other words, Bush has spent only one-fifth less than the entirety of those nations which fought the Second World War.

Please, Republicans, don't ever lecture us about 'fiscal discipline' again.

     I would probably rather have had the Great Society again instead of Bush. To its credit, it would be cheaper.

And more useful. At least the Great Society benefited some historically-discriminated minorities. What has Bush's Caligula-like treasury busting benefited the nation?
