4. I've never seen it put that way before.

Four hundred and fifty million dollars every day. 450 million today. Tomorrow. And Thursday. And so on, forever, unless we force the Republicans from office in November.

Edit: Spelling.

9. Gee maybe it's just me but for that kind of money
we could probably feed every hungry child on the planet. We could probably house all the homeless and probably cure most diseases. But what the hell it's more fun to kill and blow shit up. :sarcasm:

3. This may assist you
Check out: http://nationalpriorities.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=182

Part of the argument could be the cost to New Orleans and Louisiana relative to the Iraqi War.

And, you are under no obligation to refute the insane rantings of a right wing lunatic.

10. Thanks all - What about NO?
