1. A little math:

Edited on Thu Feb-28-08 06:54 AM by Smith_3

$18 BILLION is 18.000.000.000 dollars.

There live approximately 300 MILLION people in the states, that is 300.000.000

18.000.000.000 / 300.000.000 = 60

We could give every person a sixty dollar check every month instead of having the war... :eyes:

edit: I wonder wether the boost to the economy that the war is supposed to be, increases or decreases tax revenue.

editedit: I'd spend my check on video games.
