Great, another example of wasted money by my government...
Didn't we, as Americans, fight a war with England over "TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION"? How are these policians acting in the best interest of the country when they can't track billions of dollars?
Three words come to mind.. Misfeasance, Malfeasance and Nonfeasance.

John, you off by an order of magnitude (thousands of billions of dollars), but the point stands.

Well I don't think we have seen the true financial cost of the Iraq occupation yet. So I think that statement is a little premature
But we need to see the "positive" side of the war/occupation's cost - Bush's friends are making the money that our nation is losing. See? It's all good in the end. WAIT A MINUTE - I just realized that this isn't good at all for us!!
I've never heard of this "part throttle" before. Does it just bolt on?
Thats better Gam.

Actually, I figured on the sedans at $45,000. I don't think you'll find a used J for 22,500.
BK3K: yeah.... I was figuring on the 800 Billion... 2.3 trillion divided by 800 Billion is almost 3... but I tend to round down.
Jack: Finally, you're a hard-ass woman to please.
Transeat In Exemplum: Let this stand as the example.
oops...though it siad billion, trillion was a tad beyond my grasp
yeah... most people can't conceptualise what 1 million looks like, let alone 2 orders of magnitude above that.

Well I guess there's no point in arguing about the cost of the next planned Moon shot then is there? Kinda make it look like peanuts.

Dubya wants to go to Mars too...
Not a realistic goal given the current fiscal situation.

Well I say we let him go(with enough fuel for a one way trip). "Landing gear" - who needs "landing gear"?!
On the other hand - Martians may be harboring WMDs and terrorist. I smell a interplanetary war coming on.

For what the @!#$ has spent on Iraq, there could be a colony on mars.
Its not an issue of money---its an issue of priorities.
Rice.....Part of a balanced Pontiac diet.
they didnt loose it, they used it for beryllium soap dishes on planes.
The soap dish must be light, yet hold up in a fire, and at a meere $300,000.00 per dish its a STEAL!
(disclaimer beryllium soap dishes do not actually exist they are a figment item created to allow the government to be able to afford black ops equipment and testing.. i.e. lets see what happens when we blast our atmosphere with a few million Gigawatts of RF, or how can we make our citizens and enemies dociles and beleive anything we want, or how can we melt someones brain from space? etc etc..)

No a $3000 per toothbrush purchase is money that is "accounted for." This is money that they cannot account for - on top of their ridiculous regular spending. Nice, huh?
