Topic: Want to go on a cyber shopping spree with what we'll spend on Iraq?

http://3trillion.org/  This is an interesting website.  It's sad to know what good could have  been done with all that money.  Have fun....go spend. 

A few weeks ago, I was reading a British interview with the chief American economist who came up with that $3 trillion dollar figure (Stiglitz), and one of the panelists asked him if he could put that astronomical (mind-blowing) figure into some kind of perspective that the common man and woman might be able to comprehend - and he said that, on average, every American household will be paying $30,000.

That still leaves a lot of money ... balance the budget and health-insurance reform with the rest. (With universal health-care coverage for children 18 and younger).
