The amount that W spent on the war since it first kicked off to when he left was roughly 900 billion.
Zero just spent 10x that on handouts for his cronies, "stimulus spending" that was supposed to "jumpstart the economy" and pay increases for the politicians(professional bullshitters) who voted on the stimulus bill.

Oh I am quite concerned my dear. There is quite alot of pork that they are spending our money on and instead of cutting back on useless programs and other such nonsense, they are going to pass the products of their wasteful spending on us and hold us responsible for a debt they created.
The Gov. has been notorious for their wasteful spending such as $100,000 on an oak desk, $750 on a toilet seat, and $50 for a flathead screwdriver and you expect them to be fiscally responsible with money that they take from you?

Hahahahaha! Those with more money have more influence and will not write legislation to lose that money/influence. They are going to pass the buck onto you while they find a way to skirt around it. They always have and will continue to do so. Even if you do manage to get something like that passed, they will lose so much that they will just pull their investments out of the market and do business elsewhere. And once the major players in the American markets who keep the economy up leave, we will be fucked.
You are advocating for the same type of bureaucracy that got us into this financial mess in the first place. The less Gov. meddling there is, the quicker things can get fixed.
