So, there's a choice brewing for Bush. His Iraq war or his tax cuts for the rich. And we're starting to talk big money. Check out this paragraph from that story:
"With $166 billion spent or requested, Bush's war spending in 2003 and 2004 already exceeds the inflation-adjusted costs of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War and the Persian Gulf War combined, according to a study by Yale University economist William D. Nordhaus. The Iraq war approaches the $191 billion inflation-adjusted cost of World War I."
So what's it going to be?
(Thanks to ABC News' The Note for the article reference, and somebody at Kos' message boards for mentioning it.)
