Costs of Bush's Iraq adventure, military and follow up costs in American society until today: estimates range between 3 and 6 trillion. The crazy Iraq operation is being made responsible by some analysts to have helped the fincial crisis of 2008/2009 becoming more excessive than it would have been without the war. Seen that way, the costs of the Iraq adventure are even higher.
Costs of Obama's social security initiative: wide range of opinions, trying to calculate additonal costs ("up to 1 trillion") versus savings ("several billions per year"). Whatever, it is neither such a foreign political desaster nor such a tremendous finacial loss like the Gulf War.
Financially, Bush was the far bigger evil-doer, even if counting new debts to boost the economy by Obama are added to Obama'S score. Bush's campaign also set records for collecting financial donations - until Obama, if I recallit correctly.
Crazy to burn so much money for stupid babbling and empty paroles.
