Of course the war made it more expensive. All wars do and have done. You just asked for the last time we ahave seen tax cuts and big increases in military spending, not massive increases due to war.

You conveniently passed on Reagan.

There's so much wrong with this post. Clinton didn't gut military spending, he held it steady after a decline by Reagan and Bush 41.

The Bush tax cuts mostly just increased the deficit while economic growth was driven by a real estate bubble.
