So let's do a little math. Rather, I used a calculator. Cause yankeeb isn't home, and I'm bad at math. *g*

The figure that came out today was $62.6 billion, the current cost for the war. In man hours, that's the same as sending over FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND students to HARVARD for four years, full room and board. (Or, you know, over a MILLION AND A HALF students to state schools)

This is clearly a brilliant way for us to be spending our tax dollars. Remind me why I'm opposed to tax cuts again? Oh, that's right, i'm a Democrat.

Here's another kicker about Harvard -- although I know it wasn't your point. Harvard, a private school, receives a higher percentage of its annual budget from the commonwealth of Massachussets than, say, UCLA, a state school, receives.

So, Mass. tax dollars are going heavily to support those private students and research facilities!
