Алексей,
1. Если вам не нравится Heritage Foundation смотрите следующий сайт в google search. Их там много. Но на этом Heritage сайте написано:
Many Obama defenders in the comments are claiming that the numbers above do not include spending on Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush years. They most certainly do. While Bush did fund the wars through emergency supplementals (not the regular budget process), that spending did not simply vanish. It is included in the numbers above. Also, some Obama defenders are claiming the graphic above represents biased Heritage Foundation numbers. While we stand behind the numbers we put out 100%, the numbers, and the graphic itself, above are from the Washington Post.
2. Уже потратил?
Если я выписал чек и отправил его своей utility company, то теоретически деньги пока на моём счету, но нас самом деле их через 7 дней уже не будет.
