I sure wish more would be said that this budget contains the costs of 2 wars. Yes, it's higher. Bush, however, never put the yearly cost of those wars in his budgets; they were always handled by emergency appropriations every four months or so.
Good point. I didn't talk about it because the Repubs's budget, that was so bad a bunch of their own folks wouldn't vote for it, also included the war costs for the first time.
When we put aside partisanship, embrace the best ideas regardless of where they come from and work for principled compromise, we can move America not left or right, but forward. - Bill Clinton
