Trust me, there was an arguement.. down the line anyway. It just wasn't as violent of an arguement as it is now.
(You know... no democrats were yelling out "You lie" or "(Baby) Killer" to republicans over it, or giving a potentially dangerous war protester who breaks into congress a standing ovation..)
What bothers me more, is how do we get away with starting two wars without even questioning how they will be paid for.. but when we're making a change that's supposed to help people, we set this unrealistic expectation that the program shouldn't use a single dime of tax dollars, and that it shouldn't add a dime to the deficit.
