Iraq-$9+ Billion a Month!
"The country's two overseas wars and its homeland defense could cost as much as $10 billion a month this year - nearly 50 percent more than last year, the White House estimates.
White House estimates indicate that the U.S. will spend more than $125 billion during the fiscal year ending in September. An additional $50 billion already is being planned as a downpayment for war costs in 2007"..
Another example of the two wars, one right, was so wrong, being commingled. Unfortunately, we have 10 times more troops in Iraq than Afghanistan and are spending 90-95% of the $10 billion each month in war that didn't need to be.
