Curious...

How much money is the US spending per day on Iraq? How much have they given to Katrina relief efforts?

I tried googling to get the stats but no luck. Can any one help?

1. Here's a start

This is from 2004, but the clock at the site is still ticking away:

The clock will start at $134.5 billion and increase at a rate of $177 million per day, $7.4 million per hour and $122,820 per minute...

Is that accurate? You've piqued my curiosity, so I'll dig a little more to confirm this stat and look into Katrina.
