The wars have cost us in people- injuries, deaths, trauma. That's the big cost of the war to Americans. Money-wise, we've spent almost a trillion dollars so far:
http://costofwar.com/ Throw in the wild-eyed multi-trillion dollars estimates if you like. Say $5 trillion. It is still a discrete cost rather than a never-ending government obligation. Medicare and Social Security have structural deficits that will 100% guaranteed bankrupt the United States without action by Congress to fix the problem. This bill does nothing to address those issues, it just adds to the cost. Bye bye AAA credit rating for US bonds.Without significant action in the opposite direction of this bill, we are headed toward the fate of Argentina. I really don't want that to happen, but if it does, I actually will leave the United States. And I might just go to Costa Rica- great surfing, friendly people, and I speak spanish already.
