Visual Perspective on Iraq War Cost
I came across this site where somebody has a series of pictures, using the actual size of the dollar bill, to represent just how much money is being spent on the Iraq War.
The last estimate I saw for the cost of the Iraq War was $2,400,000,000,000.00, which is about eight times the size of that last picture. I think this makes it quite clear that if they want to keep doing this, they should really start using larger denominations.
I mean, just transporting $4 billion on pallets of $100 bills wound up weighing 363 tons and took several flights.
This is probably why Bush has decided to put everything on Uncle Sam's credit card; small little piece of plastic and you don't have to see the real cost while you're spending. Sure the interest is a bitch, but its not like he's going to be paying it, so why worry?
