Quit wasting my damned money!

bluegargantua linked to this photoessay on the war funding.

Some of the numbers are just silly, like computing the number of millenia one could employ Dice-K at his present salary. Some of it is eye-opening, like noting we could have converted every car in the US to run on E-85 ethanol for much less than this war has cost.

But when I got to the bit where they estimate that for the cost of this war we could have fed and educated the world's poor for five and a half years... I just cried.

Yeah, I had these numbers shown to me when I was in school. It's been part of my rant any time someone brings up the war to me.
