Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention and your thoughts please.

I have created a new sticky thread, humorously titled and chock-full of helpful links:

https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/p...tion-camp.html

I have also attached my most valued and precious spreadsheet. No longer will I greedily hoard this resource. In a move of compassion, my liberal side has taken it upon itself to share with you the fruits of my labor for F-R-E-E.

Your comments and thoughts appreciated.

I DO NOT want to add any partisan links to the thread. Only unbiased information.

I may make some simple charts and graphs to add later, with any partisan info or labeling removed. Like some plain charts of deficits, tax revenue, etc. by year with no reference to who was president or the composition of congress.

Let me know what you think.

I visited the sticky and will start doing some reading through the links for more brain power and thanks for the post.

Almost correct.

However, one needs to add all the costs, not just the military.

Today (6-29) the GAO indicates the costs are closer to $4 trillion.
