Its also not something that is happening.

Eh?

Its a pretty simple statement.

But I'll rephrase it anyway. You don't have 45 million people without health care in the US.

This is not a problem you can ignore to cost.

Now its my turn to say "Eh?"

Calculating the costs hardly means your ignoring it, in fact if you want to address the issue, its a necessary step.

Why are you not furious that your money is being spent that way, let alone the human cost.

1 - Its a separate topic. If the money spent is foolish, it still doesn't justify or support spending money in some other way. Good, bad, or indifferent Iraq has just about nothing to do with the issue we are discussing.

2 - The human cost of pulling out now would be much higher than the cost of staying involved.

3 - Health care is a much bigger and more expensive issue than Iraq.

4 - The economic cost of Iraq a temporary thing. A federal take over of health care insurance will likely go on costings us indefinitely. It could literally be for centuries.
