<snip>* $10 billion a month -- the cost of the war in Iraq to the United States, according to the Congressional Research Service, a bipartisan agency of the U.S. Congress. That translates into roughly $3,850 a second.

* $36 million -- the total given and pledged by the United States to the UNHCR. That equals less than three hours of the cost of the war in Iraq.

2. And CNN just did a bit (suprise suprise) about a federal housing developement

in Florida that used to receive federal funding before bush stole office. It started to be cut in half each year and now they don't contribute anything. WHILE BILLIONS and billions of dollars is being sent to Iraq for the profit of bush and his family and friends. That is a shame also.
