400 Billion and Counting - Cost of War in Iraq Escalates - The Money Spent Could Have Been Used to Help Find Cure For Cancer or to Fix Medicare


Searches

A recent article reported that a General said we are making progress training Iraqi police.  I think most people are grateful there is progress being made somewhere in Iraq amidst all the killings and bombings.  But it begs the question: At what cost?  The San Francisco Chronicle reported that rough estimates put the current expenditures for the war in Iraq at $400 billion. 

We have spent so much money that we have to round the number of to roughly 400 billion.  The sad thing is that it is not over yet.  Will the expenditures exceed 1 trillion dollars?  2 Trillion?  God only knows how many people will be killed in Iraq and what future retaliation against Americans will occur.  400 Billion and Counting - Cost of War in Iraq Escalates - The Money Spent Could Have Been Used to Help Find Cure For Cancer or to Fix Medicare.

It sure isn't Ma and Pa Kettle. Thankfully, they (the Kettles) are more concerned with the gays getting matrimonial than they are with their financial stability.

It is like re-arranging the deck chairs as the Titanic is sinking.
