CNN: "so far Iraq rebuild has cost each person in US $300"

[ElsewheresDaughter]

.more costs to follow.. .i heard one person quote $1,700 :shrug:

[Benhurst]

1. Yeah. Let's see ... about $15 actually spent on Iraq and

$285 stuffed into the pockets of Bush*'s cronies.

2. Me? or my kids?

borrow and spend republicans.

3. AH! So now I see...

...all those tax breaks were just a temporary bribe to let the fraud advance his agenda. Someone who was really concerned with the fate of the American people would have just simplified the damn system, rather than introducing new gimmicks to give his contributors more money to donate to his campaigns. Hell, didn't need that $300 anyway. After all, it's "my money", right?

4. Nothing is too much for the man who needed revenge against

the man who dried to kill his daddy! How can you not leap!?

[underpants]

5. Hey that's how much I got after 9-11

So you see they ARE linked.

:eyes:

6. It is 300 for every man women and **CHILD**

Now if you counted only the working, tax paying, adult it would be different.

8. Blue_Chill correct "cost $300 to every man women and child in US...

so far to rebuild Iraq"...hmm do the math..US population 300,000,000 x $300

7. Iraq has a population of about 25 million.

$87 billion is almost $3,500 per Iraqi. The GDP of Iraq is about $58 billion and the per capita GDP is about $2,400.


Iraq has about $4 trillion in oil and natural gas reserves. If you invested $4 trillion at 5.0% interest, you would earn $200 billion a year or about $8,000 for every man, woman and child in Iraq.

Just some interesting numbers I thought I would share.
