The cost of the war in perspective

[LorDiego01]

I'm sure there is some sort of study somewhere out there that says how once a number becomes big enough, the average person just can't understand it.

We know a million dollars is a nice chunk of money.

We know a billion dollars is an even nicer chunk of money.

But other than that, how can you imagine what the cost of the Iraq war looks like?

That looks cool. At $315 billion it will just take another 4 years or so to reach the money spent in one year by our public indoctrination, i mean education system. Maybe democrats up in washington should be demanding why these haven't reached their benchmarks
