Yeah, I saw that today, and additional commentary that it comes out to around $8,000 for every man woman and child in the US. Hey, come to think of it, that sum might cover health insurance for all! The US spends close to that much on health care per person per year. That's one year. The $2.4 tril cost for Iraq and Afghanistan, is not for one year. Even if the wars went on forever the cost wouldn't add up to enough to cover health care, not even if you subtract what the government is already spending. Any way you slice it, 2.4 Tril goes a long way. Not when your trying to cover all health care costs in the US. You might get one year. Do you plan to have universal health care for one year and than cancel the program? I doubt it. PS - Bush said not long ago that he envisioned a 'Korea' type situation in Iraq, so perhaps this is a 50 year long 'one time cost'... "A Korea type situation" would cost much less per year than our current spending.
