While I am no huge fan of Obama. He did like bombing places, but not boots on the ground war. Money was spent, much of it in the US. And and think he was ok with some taxcuts. Now lets compare to the typical Republican administration. Do a boots on the ground war, maybe two. Cut taxes, much for the very well off. And don't forget increase defense spending. George W financed those wars off the books, recall that aluminium tubes thing, Obama put those wars on the books.
Trump is two out of three so far on the cutting taxes and increasing defense spending, great start for someone who ran as a populist who is all about change.
And don't forget, complain about deficits when the Democrats are in office, rinse, wash, repeat. Because deficits for wars are good, but spending in the US isn't. And taxcuts for the rich because trickle down economics works!
