As for debts, you can't fight TWO wars against terrorist regimes and take out two terrorist regimes without debt.

Who are you trying to BS?
Dubya hasn't spent over $1.5 trillion fighting terrorism.

"Dubya hasn't spent over $1.5 trillion fighting terrorism"

He doesn't have to.
Its part of what contributes to the deficit.
Give me the total cost (including defense spending increases, plus the special amounts voted by congress for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus huge extra homeland security bills and costs, plus the reduction in Federal government revenues brought n by the recession brought on by the 9/11 attacks etc etc) and you find yourself dealing with serious budget shortfalls.

Add in the vital tax cuts which are what saved us from the recession in the first place, and we are there already.
I'd much rather have the sizzling economic performance that we have now, with over 4.2 million jobs created, 4.2 GDP growth, home ownership at record levels, company profits at record level, etc etc, than have a recession any day.
