I don't recall anyone on the right being "largely silent" over Bush's spending and debt. In fact, I recall dozens of conservatives on talk radio and TV, as well as political office holders and pundits elsewhere, lamenting how they disapproved of Bush spending... In fact, this is one of the main reasons we can even seriously entertain the notion of a liberal bitching about government spending.. If the right were "largely silent" about spending, the left would never bring it up, there would be no political reason to do so, after all, liberals are not at all opposed to spending or debt. Except when it's for the military, of course.
Now let's help you out with a little perspective, since you seem to have none... You can't say "Bush wars cost us $X, unless you are willing to calculate what the cost might have been if we hadn't had the wars. Now, I realize in liberal fantasy world, we could have saved every single penny we spent on the wars, and if we hadn't fought them, there would have been no consequences which would have cost us anything at all... but that's only between the bubble gum and cotton candy inside what you call a brain... in reality, everything has a consequence. For instance, before we went into Iraq, it was costing us a billion dollars a day to ensure Saddam complied with the UN and allowed inspections. A billion a day for a decade, comes to just about the 3.7 trillion you are bitching about.... If we hadn't gone to war in Iraq, and daisies didn't magically shoot out of Saddam's ass--turning him into a liberal pacifist, we can conclude the same 3.7 tril would have gone to ensuring Saddam played nice... and that doesn't even start to deal with alQaeda and the Taliban. So in essence, Bush may have actually SAVED us money, because remember, IF we had spent the money on monitoring Saddam, we'd still have Saddam.
There is also the cost we may have had in dealing with a chem/bio terror attack, from one of several anti-American terror groups Saddam was associated with, from chem/bio weapons made in Iraq at one of hundreds of weapons facilities, with the tons of raw weapons-grade materials, and thousands of empty warheads. Now maybe this happens and maybe it doesn't, but what do you imagine it might cost America to clean up a dirty bomb attack on NYC? Probably several billion there... Then, there is the Taliban and alQaeda, and since you cited "Bush's WarS" (plural), I assume you include Afghanistan... so that means, all this time, alQaeda is still training in the mountains, the Taliban is still providing them state sponsorship.... You don't believe this would have ultimately cost us anything? What was the overall cost of 9/11 again?
It's EASY to be a liberal moron, and say.... BUSH WARS COST US $X.... but we can just as easily say that government assistance for pond scum like yourself, who leech off the productivity of the taxpayer, has cost us over $100 trillion in the past 70 years, and we still haven't fixed the problem. We could argue that eliminating government welfare will save us trillions over the next decade, and completely ignore the cost in suffering or dealing with the ramifications of eliminating it... but that would make us dishonest lying manipulative assholes like you.
