ten billion a month

From SF Gate:

War Costs Approach $10 Billion

The war in Iraq is costing $10 billion every month. That's a one followed by 10 zeroes. It's almost impossible to comprehend, so let me give you some perspective. $10 billion a month could...

  • ...pay for an across-the-board 25% reduction in taxes for oil companies.
  • ...house, feed, and torture nearly 6 million prisoners - 7.5 million if those prisoners are in Afghanistan.
  • ...fund nearly 500,000 quail-hunting trips.
  • ...allow for 75,000 additional wiretaps.
  • ...buy over 12 million Medals of Freedom.
  • ...leave 225,000 more minority children behind.
