It's not just the war that caused the deficit

I couldn't help noticing this news article about the 1/2 trillion dollar deficit the Bush regime will leave us with...

What occurred to me was that no where in the article does it mention the cost of all the corporate bail outs, and the damage to the economy that Bush has inflicted that caused a big fall off in tax revenue. Not to mention all the trillions of tax cuts. Every penny of that deficit can be aimed fairly and squarely at the Bush regime and its corporate handouts (yes the war on Iraq was just another corporate handout) and direct to the wealthy tax cuts.

It's time this nation got over its object fixation with Iraq and terrorists, the real threat lies firmly and squarely at home and those running, or not as the case may be, the nation (and running it into the ground I might add).
