Perhaps, but it has been hell for the people that live in the US.


For example...?


The sudden descent from a budget surplus to a record deficit that is
bound to have predictible results?


Oddly enough, that's not that predictable. And since we were talking
about "been hell" as opposed to "going to be," you're wrong on this one.

Loss of personal liberties?


Maybe in the future, but so far, the government has been very bad at
taking much away from us...

Billions spent and thousands of lives lost fighting the wrong war?


Your opinion, shared by a bunch of folks who have had a very poor track
record in picking "wrong" anythings. Having fun backing those dictators?

Environmental disaster?


Like, er... well, none have happened, and nothing on the horizon, but
don't let that stop you. Again, hasn't happend, so "been hell" still
doesn't apply.
