Linda Bilmes(@LJBilmes):The US paid for Vietnam, Korea, WWI and II, Civil War, and 1812 with higher taxes. But since 9/11 we borrowed all money for Iraq/afghanistan/Iran wars. Result? High national debt, low accountability, veterans owed $7.3 trillion, endless war. #IranWar‌ @CostsOfWar @VFPNational
