Why do people always think that using troops that you already pay for every day and ships you pay for every day and ammo you use every day and tanks and trucks and stuff you use every day are are so much more expensive when used for the real thing than when they are used for regular dayily training and deployment? Yeah it does cost more, but not nearly as much as some people would have you believe.
Be that as it may....keep ignoring the economy's real state and the fact that things will probably never be the same again as they were before 9/11 and get used to budget deficits...I heard all these very same arguments back when Reagan doubled the federal revenues with his tax cuts..then congress trippled their spending. It took less than 10 years to turn around and get rid of all the deficits (if you believe the Clintonian figures)...learn from history folks...please stop with the same old tired worries. Find some new ones...or maybe ones that will actually occur. It will definately help your mental state and stress level.
