Not trying to trivialize or cause a flame war, just an interesting way of wrapping your head around the cost of the war in Iraq... roughly 1150 for every person in America!!!

Not trying to trivialize or cause a flame war, just an interesting way of wrapping your head around the cost of the war in Iraq... roughly 1150 for every person in America!!! Which pales in comparison to the human costs, especially that of our service members.

And the rising defecits exceed that 1150 by a wide marging. But that's OK, give the richest .025% of Americans (and their inheritors) all the tax breaks you can.

Of course, there is NO comparison meant to be made between the two. I was speaking simply of economics...

War boosts GDP in economics but serves as nothing for American ergonomics.
