Our Taxes

If you didn't see it please read this from the New York Time's Nicolas Kristoff. It might send you into orbit, like it did to me this morning while sitting by Bobbi's bed at the Womens Hospital. $6300 a second is a lot of money to be cramming into Iraq. bush and rumsfeld's war was supposed to cost $50 billion, but now it looks like $2 trillion. Get your head around that number!

As Kristoff said, "Just to put that $2 trillion in perspective, it is four times the additional cost needed to provide health insurance for all uninsured Americans for the next decade. It is 1,600 times Mr. Bush’s financing for his vaunted hydrogen energy project."

Bobbi is still doing well at the hospital.
