True, he was too busy to sign condolence letters to the families of dead soldiers, so he was porbably too busy to follow up on little things like that.
In all seriousness, it's a shitty position to be in, cutting taxes (income) and increasing spending (expenses) is a tough act to continue indefinitely. When you or I do that, it is not called "running a deficit" it's called "going broke".
The public wants the troops to be wearing cyber-power 9000 suits which are impervious to direct RPG hits and cost $23 million apiece, but they don't want to pay a mountain of taxes to cover it. So we buy them cyber-power 7000 suits (only $18 million a piece) and put it on the national Visa card. Sooner or later you gotta pay that card. Or call Di-Tech, and get a 2nd mortgage on ..say New Mexico to pay off those bills.
