How does Bush plan to regain the $2 trillion that has been burned on the Iraq war?

Diogenes asked:


Okay, we all know that America is facing an “entitlements crisis” with social security and medicare/caid growing to gigantic proportions in only a few years. We need all the money we can get.

And yet, Bush used $2 TRILLION on Iraq.

Please explain how he plans to fill the budget hole left by the war. Increased taxes? Decreased services? The gap won’t fill itself.

How will this work out? Also, how come Bush lied about protecting the strength of the dollar, when his policies are clearly causing its value to fall?
