Ushindi can’t do accounting. Regarding costs, you compare fixed to fixed and variable to variable, not fixed to variable.
Iraq isn’t a fixed cost. It costs $200 billion annually (1.2 trillion / six years). The current Medicare budget exceeds that figure by 93%. You think a single-payer or other form of socialized medicine can be done that cheaply in a nation as large as the US???
We’ve got entitlement programs stretched way beyond the nation’s ability to pay for them already, even without wars.
