$20,200
$20,200--that's what the Iraq war is currently costing an average family of four, according to a report in the Washington Post. Enough money to buy a new car, or make a very nice down payment on a house. Three or four years worth of groceries. Health insurance premiums for two or three years. More money than many low-wage workers will earn in an entire year.
This is what the Bush administration's war based on a lie is costing me and you. Why can't the fools in Congress--of both parties--see that it's time to get out?
