State-by-State Cost of Iraq

This is scary stuff. According to the site:

Missouri residents have been charged $2.7 billion of the Iraq bill, they have received less than $120 million for Homeland Security and just $350 million for No Child Left Behind.

That leaves a deficit of $2,230,000,000.


Ohio, the battleground state spent $5.7 billion on Iraq, yet received only $240 million for Homeland Security and $659 million for No Child Left Behind.

That leaves a deficit of $4,701,000,000.

Three cheers for wartime tax cuts!!!
