Tom Friedman wrote a piece years ago, that was actually good. It compared China and the US from 2001-2008. They spent about $1 trillion on infrastructure in anticipation for their olympics, while we spent that amount invading Iraq. And here we are now.

He did have two terms, so lets say its debatable.

Yea but look at what got out of it! I guess I remember when it crossed the $1 trillion mark and stopped keeping track. $1 trillion is enough to make my point. What the fuck were we doing?
