A number for your consideration.

Three-point eight trillion dollars. That's $3,800,000.000.000. More than what was spent on WW II, if adjusted for inflation, based on computations from a variety of estimates and sources*.

*References includ US National Archive, US Dept of Defense, US Bureau of Reclamation, Library of Congress, NASA, Panama Canal Authority, FDIC, Brittanica, WSJ, Time, CNN.com, and a number of other websites.

What is that number for?

I believe that is the cost of new toilet seats in Iraq..

well then if can I get a tax rebate for just a Million? They would never miss it. It could be under Misc.

Watch the news or read the papers much?

Oh wait...never mind you are the poster who thinks the liberal media controls all information.

Do a search

No you have me wrong. All National Media is a Brainwashing tool. Local Media on the most part is ok unless they are just repeating the National Media. Then they do not know better. Media from Oversea's about us is the Most Truthful unbiased media. Then not Britain

PS.. bookmark Rueters Media who most outlets get thier news from. Then see if what they say and what your national says and see if they match or if thier is a twist to it.. Will tell you alot. Many main big stories that you will find on Rueters. ie.. Iraq will never be mentioned Here

The Massacre at Hilla Iraq where 175 people died and the Media was refused access by Both Govt. 2 miles is as close as they could come the next day. Was a no news event here.

This happened in Feb 2007.. 175 dead and 200+ injured Rueters said it was the 2nd deadliest of the War. But something very strange was going on for our national media to make it a non event. Not worth covering
