On The Cost of War, Or, Do You Know What We Could Have Bought?~Washblog ~"In the wake of Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers is spending about $25 million to build a mile of levee. Instead of flooding Iraq with US troops, we could have bought 96,000 miles of flood control. (If we built just a bit less we could afford $50 billion to build each of 250,000 Louisiana residents a $150,000 house…and $50,000 worth of stuff to go in it.)"
