Pinching Pennies 'til Abe Cries 'War'


I'm looking forward to this film (Austin Chron review here).

The best part of their web site is the running tally at the top
of the page: "The Cost of the War in Iraq."
$364 billion, baby.
If I gave you $1000 a day, you'd have a million dollars in about 3 years.
For a billion dollars you'd have to wait 3 thousand years.

What would you do if the Treasury handed you, in cash, 250 million dollars a day, for four years?

I decided I'd use it to fill the retirement accounts of presidential puppet masters. Everybody's doing it!
