ADopted ADmiral Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) I was just wondering what the actual war in Iraq is costing us? I have searched around and I'm not sure what it it actually is... Is it anywhere close the the bail-out dollars Bush is wanting to pass?

ADopted ADmiral Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Somewhere around $500 billion and growing if I'm not mistaken. That's what I was thinking... Seems Scary to me that they are spending all of this Money over there and our country seems to be dying finantially! So is our country better off for going to war?

Habib Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 So is our country better off for going to war? No. But, that's just one person's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to war isn't what put us in this situation. Bad lending practices are. Now though if you want to talk about our national debt, well that a whole other topic.
