Iraq war costs v. cost of national priorities

Excellent, must-see web site - National Priorities.org

I don't want to hear one more criticism about tax & spend liberals until the cut tax & spend conservatives tell me how we're going to pay for Bush's never-ending "war on terror"!

This site also lets you see the opportunity costs of the Iraq war, i.e. the money we could have been using for things like children's health care, college scholarships, etc.

I wish more people would think in these terms. It's not just how much something costs, it's what you have to give up (forgo) to get it.
