makes financing a bit easier…
international politicsKerry keeps saying the war has cost $200 billion. Both Fact Check and the RNC agree that it is more like $120 billion. $200 billion has been earmarked, but we’ve only burned $120 yet.
Cursor.org has a link to a nice way of countering that:
Pandagon’s Jesse Taylor explains the $200 billion question: “We can’t count the war as costing what it’s going to cost because the money’s been earmarked to be spent, but hasn’t been spent yet. By that standard, my car cost $622.”
