October 1, 200818 yr 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? Edited October 1, 200818 yr by ADopted ADmiral
October 1, 200818 yr Author 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?
