text: is it true that the goverment is wasteing taxs payers money on making bombs for the war?   actually, most funds from wars are from debt financing.  the taxes collected today are really 'repaying' treasury loans from many years ago.  tax money won't be actually applied towards the iraq situation for many more years, so the answer to this question is no, tax payers money is not being used (directly) to finance any current wars.
