How much do you think the war is costing America?

I just wanted to post a couple videos I thought were very well done. First is from National Priorities non-profit website. Really go through it sometime.

Second comes from GOODMagazine (also on my list of links to check out).


"In 2003, Donald Rumsfeld estimated a war with Iraq would cost $60 billion. Five years later, the cost of Iraq war operations is more than 10 times that estimate. So what's behind the ballooning figures? Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Bilme's exhaustively researched book, The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict, breaks down the price tag, from current debts to the unseen costs we'll pay for many years to come. RESOURCES: The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict; War At Any Price? The Total Economic Costs of the War Beyond the Federal Budget. By the Joint Economic Committee; threetrilliondollarwar.org. Thanks to the authors for their support, and to W. W. Norton for permission to use the research conducted for the book."


I hope you enjoy these vids as much as I did.
