Any future costs are his baby. -- You have to realize that those who like to claim a 2 trillion dollar cost for the war in Iraq are using creative accounting techniques so suit their agendas. So far it has cost about 640-650 billion. (not that that's exactly chump change). The 2 trillion is a "projected cost" of maintaining the military in combat operations through 2019, a date that both Bush and Obama rejected. What happens when you factor in the costs of medical care for returning vets, and keeping their families afloat? Tack on another Trillion, easily - not to mention the loss of a lot of thousands of productive lives, who will now be using resources rather than creating them. Maybe tack on 2 trillion. A large part of the ending of FDR's depression was the millions of men taken out of the 24% unemployment workforce and sent overseas to fight, At about $60 a month. FDR's depression? Hehehe. |
