Have a look at David Leonhardt's article in the business section of today's NY Times.
It's a summary of recent analysis on the financial aspects of Bush's War. You probably already have a vague sense of the expense, but Leonhardt's piece helps make it more concrete. The lowest cost estimates come in at over $1 trillion. And counting.
How big is a trillion? Perhaps this'll help:
- 1 million seconds = about a week and a half
- 1 trillion seconds = more than 30,000 years
