I don't understand where you're getting the figures for this. But I guess you're doing a little hocus pocus on the numbers. Obama's stimulus in one package is more than any given years spending on the Iraq War, but in total the Iraq war dwarfs the stimulus, so nice way to frame the facts.
So far the "stimulus" (which was too small btw because Obama caved to Republican critics, because that's what he does. He's a toady to the right, and the right just keeps kicking him when he does what they want. Like pass Romney's Health care plan, and then he got called Mao or some shit...)..so any way, the stimulus was a one time payout.
Please aggregate all the veterans benefits and health costs for the next 40-50 years we have to pay out to wounded soldiers and their familes until about 2060. And there are still 50,000 troops to maintain there last I checked. Oh, and I see government mercenaries are way up since the "drawdown" so who is paying for that exactly? BTW those numbers are in the black budget not the official funding bill for Iraq and no Republican will trot those out because they'll make this argument look as silly as you make it.
Iraq was one giant leg that lead us into this financial disaster, although I guess your side gets points for trying to pin it on Obama and the dems.
