thank you toasted.I'm afraid i am not as knowledgable as most in this section so I appreciate answers to my questions.thanx again. one thing you have to keep in mind is the wizardry of accountants...two opposing sides using the same numbers will come out with totally different results, you can't believe either side...until the numbers are audited... |

well ya could give everyone one social security a $500 a month raise and quit charging those on disability social security a deductible for their medical yeah thats a good idea i vote for that one ok...on topic... those are good ideas, and good for our public. i think several million could go towards solving various diseases and cancers, and the other chunk towards our education system |

I find the men to be credible and the statements accurate. to find the true cost of the war you need to factor in the interest on the money we borrowed to wage it. that interest will need to be paid untill it is paid off........what part of economics do you not understand?
you find the men to be credible?...Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes...I think Linda is a woman... and even if they were both men yopu finding them credible is laughable.....what credentials do you have for that finding to have any credibility? and what part of economics do you understand? |

U.S. direct spending on the war in Iraq already has surpassed the upper bound of Lindsey's upper bound, and most economists attribute billions more in indirect costs to the war effort. Even if the U.S. exits Iraq within another three years, total direct and indirect costs to U.S. taxpayers will likely by more than $400 billion, and one estimate puts the total economic impact at up to $2 trillion.

Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and self-described opponent of the war, puts the final figure at a staggering $1 trillion to $2 trillion, including $500 billion for the war and occupation and up to $300 billion in future health care costs for wounded troops. Additional costs include a negative impact from the rising cost of oil and added interest on the national debt.
