This argument that the war is "why" we are short on cash and have a challenge funding the Katrina rebuilding effort is just utter crap. It's no different than the Luxury Tax argument I make all the time... if your overall salary cap is over the tax threshhold, why are you blaming the last guy signed as the one who "cost us" double? No, the expenditure as a whole is what cost you double.

Having to pay for a war sucks. But so does having to pay for billions and billions of irrelevant pork. In the middle of a conflict, which would you rather cut?

DUH.

It's a total political play.
