The Costs of War

For years near Madison Square Garden in New York there was a large, digital billboard showing the size (increasing) of America's national debt. Now the liberal Center for American Progress has done the same thing for the War in Iraq, with an Internet billboard showing the costs of the war, dubbed "Project Billboard." It's well worth a look. As of this post, $140.7 billion and rising. (They've put up a real-world billboard in Times Square, but it sadly doesn't have the digital cost figures.)
