Dept. of Defense New Math
In a report from the Christian Science Monitor:
"By 2010, war expenses might total $600 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Much depends on when - and how many - US military personnel can be withdrawn from the Iraqi theater of operations."
I guess we as Americans shouldn't worry too much about these costs that are putting this country deeper and deeper into debt. After all, Mr. Rumsfeld is pushing to close many military facilities that will save $50 billion over a ten year period. Somehow I think that $50 billion in ten years doesn't quite equate to $600 billion in five more years. But then again, I never was too good at math.
Maybe we will pay for it with another tax cut for the richest Americans
