A little visual aid

After I posted about the CBO’s estimation that the occupation in Iraq may end up costing the U.S. $2.4Trillion, I received this link from a C&Ler:

Using the actual size of a dollar bill, this is how large a stack of $9 million would be:

And using the same scale, this is $191 Billion, which is $5 Billion dollars shy of what Bush has demanded Congress give him with no restrictions or benchmarks THIS YEAR.

That little dark spot is the car from the above graphic. But wait, there’s more ....

Click the link for the last graphic.

2. It's not like we're playing with REAL money.

They've even added different colors to the greenback so that everyone knows it's just Monopoly money. ;)
