Continuing cost of Iraq

Assuming that either Obama or Clinton is in the White House come January, and a plan is set in motion to exit our troops from Iraq as quickly as possible, we will still be using borrowed money until we're done.

This is one of those things I think we all know, but may not realize.

If we look at the other plans: healthcare, infrastructure, global warming, etc. one must ask how we kickstart any of these things until Iraq is off our back.

I fear that many people are going to expect too much too soon. If we can't get a handle on our finances, I'm not sure we can achieve much of what we want.
