$3100 per US household to support war in Iraq.

Jim Lobe reports on an assessment by the Institute for Policy Studies on "The Mounting Costs of the Iraq War," which says that each U.S. household will owe upwards of $3,100 by year's end and be "less secure at home and in the world."

1. And most of that is borrowed. When you include the interest (and the...

...opportunity cost -- think of all the things we could be spenging that on that would have actually paid off on the investment) it's going to cost us way more than 3100 bucks per household.

2. Sure beats that 65¢ a year for the National Endowment for the Arts!

5. $3100? That is $2800 more than my tax cut!

4. But we get a $300 rebate!

That's almost like losing only $2800!

And for an extra two years of profligate oil use, that's a steal!
