Another thing I find interesting is how the Numbers are crunched. I do not understand how it works.

I do know that the USA spent about 280 BILLION per year during PEACE times to fund our Military Prior to the current Iraq war.
The Iraq war has added about 80 to 100 BILLION a year to that.

If the Troops were brought home tomorrow the 280 BILLION per year would still be there.

I think we are probably spending more money on Civilian matters in Iraq than we are on Military matters.
But it probably isn't more than we spend in other countries doing the same things.

But if Iraq is costing 100 Billion a year that's 700 Billion since it started so why is the debt 9 Trillion.

I would like a full explanation of how they determine the Debt.
Does anyone know?
