Cost of Iraq war: $1,075 each
Aug. 23, 2006
Washington TimesThe National Priorities Project has calculated the cost of the Iraq war by congressional district, city, state and even household.
You owe $1,075.
The NPP bills itself as a non-partisan, non-profit organization that uses government data to illustrate the impact of federal policies on local communities. It targets large ticket government programs and tax breaks -- mostly dear to Republicans -- for scrutiny, including tax breaks for the top 1 percent of earners, the cost of missile defense, maintaining a massive nuclear weapon arsenal, and the Iraq war.
NPP bases its Iraq war calculations on a Congressional Research Service report from June, which totaled the war at $318.5 billion.
"That is $2,844 for every American household or $1,075 for every American. The money (already spent or allocated) is being spent at a rate $10 million per hour and $244 million per day," according to NPP.
A new meaning to the phrase 'death tax'.

"$318.5 billion."
.... about the same amount abolishing the estate tax will cost the US govt for only the 8000 hyper-richest families.

I wipe my butt with 1000. It's the $350,000 each in en lements that i'm worried about.
I'm doing my part. It was a great sacrifice, but I gutted up and accepted my tax cut.
dubya won't touch the en lements to farmers and the $Bs given to the oilcos.
