To your first "question" (it isn't but I'll pretend). Since I never indicated that either recent president was immune to criticism, they both must take blame. I was very disappointed, and still am, that in his inauguration speed O did not indicate a quick departure from both venues. At the same time, I can understand the difficulty of a quick exit, but still ... too much, too long ... and for what.

To "Chamberlain" ... not worth taking any time here.

To budgeting for wars, seems in the years prior to 2000 there was not much difficulty. May not be easy to forecast the unknown, but given the need for increased spending, revenues were boosted to compensate ... as was debt. So, yes, there were budgets. Now, given the tax cuts, we are left with war spending for nearly a dozen years (plus some other things) yet reduced revenues. Absolutely no way to set up a successful enterprise ... and now we are stuck with the cuts knowing that dramatic re-introduction could have some impact on the economy. Damned if we do and damned if we don't.

So trust you are happy now. If you need help understanding anything that I wrote, try orrcountry ... he will offer the Fox News version that will be more acceptable to you both I would guess.
