War in Iraq: What’s the Price Tag?

The National Priorities Project estimates that so far the war in Iraq has cost the taxpayers $536 billion dollars, as of July 15, 2008.  They have a web site that not only keeps track of the expenditures, but also figures what the money spent would pay for. Find out what this money could have been spent for instead by clicking on the following web site:http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home.  Also, see articles found in the Anti War section of the main page.
