Deficits

Where was Senator Tom Coburn when we used (and are using) deficits to pay for the Iraq war (9200 in Bay State lose access to jobless benefits, Boston Globe, April 6, 2010: A2).
Surely, deficits for the reducing the trauma of unemployment is as justifiable as deficits to pay for war.
\perhaps if we drafted the unemployed, Senator Coburn would approve of those payments -- but then of course there would be no work for the contractors who make such generous contributions to political campaign funding.
