By starting the Iraq war, Bush/Cheney engineered a massive transfer of taxpayer dollars to their pals in the Military Industrial Complex, while at the same time pushing through huge tax cuts so that those same pals could keep all of that money. This brought about huge deficits which the right wing is now using as an excuse to come after our Social Security and Medicare.
