The $2.2 trillion already <a href="http:\/\/costsofwar.org\/sites\/all\/themes\/costsofwar\/images\/US-Budgetary-Costs.pdf" target="_blank">includes</a> interest accrued to date <em>and</em> estimated future health care costs. The remaining &quot;more than $3.9 trillion&quot; is purely future interest payments.
Calculating interest out to 2053 doesn&#039;t strike me as necessarily the most useful thing to do. I mean if you take the view that the public debt is going to be higher in perpetuity than it otherwise would have been because of a dollar spent today, then all spending costs infinity.
The math is correct. Make your check payable to Internal Revenue Service.
On the bright side, Chimpy and Cheney and their band of merry neocon stooges only killed or maimed one American out of every 30,000 or so. That&#039;s a bloody bargain.
&quot;If we double the length, we halve the cost.&quot;
(Parallels the NRA&#039;s arguments on gun safety: they like to divide the various and sundry horrors by the number of guns, and point out -- with a straight face -- how the ratio is &quot;improving&quot;, and much better than it is in selected European socialist hellholes.)
Is rendition to The Hague a viable option? Because the only other option seems to be modding his microvave oven, so it communicates with his pacemaker.
I think Iran&#039;s pretty happy with the outcome.
The Iraqis <i>worked</i> for their money!

Protip: don&#039;t order a &quot;Western omelette&quot; in Baghdad.
Just like any bunch of good ol&#039; boys who got drunk and went for a joyride. In the ship of state.

Besides, $2.2 trillion is already a huge number.
So Louisisana isn&#039;t so exceptional after all ... the teabaggers will be very disappointed by this fact.
Oh, wait... a fact. Beowoof is right: nevermind.

Didn&#039;t have the cash, amirite?

Wow. When does all that Iraqi oil kick in to start paying the bills like we were promised?
Isn&#039;t Iraq supposed to give us a $6 trillion discount on our next oil bill?
I&#039;m sure it shows up as a credit on the balance sheet that Romney claimed to be good at reading.
If history is any indicator, guys like Cheney can sleep soundly with millions of dead on (what would be, in a normal human) their conscience.
