More Neocon Voodoo economics
Bush is spending four thousand seven hundred dollars per second in Iraq.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22178240-663,00.html

As limbaugh would say, its your money.

bush and his band of pirates want to increase health coverage fees on the families of active duty military members and all military retirees. Per the compassionate administration this will save 42 million dollars a week for 10 years (although this figure has been disputed.) Source" Fleet Reserve Association (organization for sea service retirees.)

So the monthly savings bush will make on stiffing many who are now on food stamps will pay for 89 seconds of his lunacy in Iraq.

Why are paying 4,700 hundreds dollars a second in Iraq? Because bush is a liar and has no leadership or managerial skills. However he still remains happily married to free republic. And he's the top in that relationship.

1. Well, by your figures, it's more like 53 days...($42MM a week for 10 years is $21.8 Billion)
but your point is valid. Staggering sums of money.

2. I was figuring one week "savings" at a time
So sad that rational human beings have to discuss such nonsense. Well, like cheney said, deficits don't matter, reagan proved it.
