The world has about $5.7 trillion in currency. Does that put some perspective on the costs? Once someone suggested "Mission Accomplished" would cost $400 billion. Others scoffed. Amazing how those 'scoffer' are not scoffing anymore. We have long since passed the $400 billion mark.

Remember, Desert Storm (liberation of Kuwait) costs the US almost nothing. Because the US was responsible, then the world paid for most of those costs. Japan was the biggest bill payer. Somehow our wacko extremist administration forgets that Desert Storm was fought almost for free. They forget why we paid so little to liberate Kuwait. They hope you have no idea what $1 trillion is - your mortgaged future.
