rawstory.com — The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will end up costing $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years, according to a new CBO estimate. That's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in the US, and it's 40 times more than Bush told us the war would cost.Interest alone on the war's costs will run about $705 billion because we're fighting with borrowed money.

They should send out the bill to the taxpayers, which would certainly make more people listen to Ron Paul. Instead they will pretend to lower taxes while our services degrade and they they lay on tons of "user fees". Right after the primaries I expect them to finish blowing out the dollar and blame it on someone completely innocent that they can "save" us from. Wake up people!!

Why should the majority who didn't vote for that creaton, pay for a war we morally oppose? No, Bush and Cheney after the trials must pay for all of it.

Math Check.Population of Iraq 27499638 Population of Afghanistan 26813057Total population of "every man, woman and child in Iraq and Afghanistan" 54312695 X 20,000,000 ===========1,086,253,900,000,000That Check would read: 1 Quadrillion, 86 Trillion, 253 Billion, 900million dollars and 00/100 CentsThe GDP of the entire world in 2006 was estimated at 46.77 Trillion. Ignoring interest and inflation issues and the obvious fact that we would all starve to death if the world spent its entire gap on this task, it would take the world 23.2 years to pay off the check you propose. The reality is we could only cover 43% or so and not starve out half the population and even at a modest 5% inflation this plan would basically be a become a bonded enslavery of the the earth that we would never get out from underneath. Conclusion: Surely you are not proposing we surrender ourselves and the world into bonded slavery to the Radical Islamic States and/or Terrorists?
