None of the graphs are from the Bush era, so your question is irrelevant.



None of the graphs are from the Bush era, but the Iraq war was still active in 2011. I was asking whether the cost of the war's operation omitted from this graph's "Defense spending".


I thought, by how you phrased your question, you knew that Obama had reversed Bush's funny accounting policy. If not, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/20/us/politics/20budget.html

Either way, the wars are very cheap these days.
