War in Iraq: The Cost.

Have you ever wondered how much the war in Iraq was costing? Many people think everyday about how much they are paying in taxes and everyday expenses to keep our troops at war. The website zfacts.com has a clock of how much money we are spending for the war in Iraq. If you go to the link http://zfacts.com/p/447.html you will see a graph of the year 2008 and how much we spent for the war. On the graph there is a clock that continuously counts up the money that we are spending today for the war. The last time I checked this website the amount was $653,658,695,787. To many people that is way too much money to be spending when all we are doing over there is to help them build their economy up right.

Many people argue that we are spending too much money for nothing. Maybe we are, and maybe we aren't. But not everyone is entirely sure. Yes, we are helping them with many things and it is costing tax payers billions of dollars, but if we were in the same situation wouldn't we want the financial support and the support of other people?

Do you feel we are spending too much money for nothing?
