Chris, > He has said he's going to get us out of Iraq, which will save 12 billion a week right there.

Try $200 billion for the year, i.e. $3.85 billion per week:

> While the President announced an escalation of the Iraq War and requested nearly $200 billion for war funding in fiscal year 2008 alone, Congress tried repeatedly to expand health care for children.

Pull out of Iraq now, and the federal budget should go down to $2.9 trillion, i.e. $9,500 per resident.

Where is the rest of the money going?
