Studies: Iraq Costs US $12B Per Month
Yes, it's the Huffington Post, but quoted within are even more conservative estimates:
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has done its own projections and comes in lower, forecasting a cumulative cost by 2017 of $1.2 trillion to $1.7 trillion for the two wars, with Iraq generally accounting for three-quarters of the costs.
My question is when will be be doing ourselves more damage than our "good intentions" are worth? I mean, let's save ourselves to fight another day, let's clean our side of the street first, let's not pluck out our eye to spite our face, or any other adage that fits oh-so-well in this massive outpouring of money.
I may not have said it out loud as frequently as I've said it in my own head, but we've got too many problems that are being inadequately served to continue on this path of war.
