It was AUG 1998 when POTUS #42 WJC severely depleted our inventory of Tomahawks pushing rocks around in Afghanistan in a "Wag the Dog" op during MonicaGate.
After 6+ years, BHO has put us in U.S.$17T in debt and popping off Tomahawks into Syria at U.S.$1.59M per missile.
What you call “debt” was in part political kickbacks to Democrat special interest groups (they may as well be PACs) to fund the next several election cycles.
