"Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?": Response # 2

Since Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and the GOP have asked, I will answer their question.
Response # 2 to the question:  "Are YOU better off than you were 4 years ago?"
The answer is "Yes.  Because 4 years ago, our troops were fighting in two wars, that had never been budgeted for, started by President Bush.  Now, although we are still asking our troops to fight for us in a foreign country, we are "only" in Afghanistan.  And the end to our extreme presence there is in sight."
Four years ago, we were not only in Afghanistan, our nation had been duped into sending forces into Iraq (remember all those WMDs that were laying all over everywhere in Baghdad?), AND neither had been budgeted for.  Not only that, but President Bush had given tax CUTS...because he could.
Worst of all, the Republican candidate, John McCain, showed every intention of invading Iran.
