Cost of the War

Here's a quote from th National Priorities Project (NPP) website:
The taxpayer cost of the Iraq War is broken down for various towns, cities and counties across the U.S. The breakdown is based on a total cost of $378 billion. That is $3,375 for every American household or $1,275 for every American or $2,848 per taxpayers. The money (already spent or allocated) is being spent at a rate nearly $11 million per hour and $255 million per day.
Just in case you haven't done so recently, I encourage you to click on the "Cost of War" link in the sidebar to learn interesting facts about the cost of the Iraq war.

I shudder to think about what the indirect costs are. Clearly, we will be paying for this over the long haul.
