How much are we spending on the war?

So, how much are we spending on the war? Do you know? Turns out, you don't. In fact, nobody knows according to the GAO.

"Neither DOD nor Congress can reliably know how much the war is costing and details of how appropriated funds are being spent," the report to Congress stated.

Could be lots, could not be lots. Who knows. As Rummy would say, "Who knows?"

Nice. This is fiscal conservatism for you. It's anything but conservative.

The term "tax and spend liberal" was created by the right to name some sort of mythical beast. Clinton balanced the budget, reduced the deficit and created a government surplus. Even if was "tax and spend liberal" (which he wasn't) isn't that better than the "tax cut and spend, spend, spend idiot" we have now?
