BK>>  Obama wants to cut govt spending. The biggest money drain is the  war
 BK>> in Iraq, which Obama wants to end, but McCain has not  expressed any
 BK>> real interest in ending.

 BA> Actually the biggest money drain is Social Security,
 BA> followed by the mess in Iraq.

 Except that Social Security has it's own tax base, and puts the
 money back into the US economy to circulate. The Iraq war is
 sending billions out of the country. One of the most offensive
 parts is the hiring of contract workers who are neither American
 nor Iraqi.

 And I'm not even certain that Social Security is bigger than
 Iraq these days. Do you really know what the bill is adding up
 to? Does anyone?
