AlexCrowley 0 #2 January 10, 2006 umm thats the same figure that the guy who got fired said it would cost in the 'worst case estimate'. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,175 #3 January 10, 2006 Quoteumm thats the same figure that the guy who got fired said it would cost in the 'worst case estimate'. Ummm no - he predicted $100-200Billion. This is $2 Trillion. Or $7,000 for every man, woman and child in the USA. Hope your family thinks its $21,000+ is being well spent. www.reformer.com/Stories/0,1413,102~8854~3196990,00.html I guess Bush will just borrow it from our grandkids. edited to add: you must be thinking of this... Before the war started, Mitch Daniels, then the White House budget director, had said the war would be an "affordable endeavor" and rejected an estimate by the chief White House economic adviser that the war would cost between $100 billion and $200 billion as "very, very high." Lawrence Lindsay was fired for suggesting $200B as the likely cost.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexCrowley 0 #4 January 10, 2006 Sorry, Im getting mixed up. I read an article (somewhere) at the time he released his figures. They asked 3 experts (liberal, independent, conservative) how much it would cost, the liberal and independent both used the trillions figure. I misrememberd. my apologies. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markd_nscr986 0 #5 January 10, 2006 That's a chunk of change! I wonder what that loser from Mass. would have done with regards to war expenditures............and if same war expenditures have prevented an "encore" to 9/11 7k on my part is worth it to me to prevent another 9/11.........if a similar event occurs regardless then it is not well spentMarc SCR 6046 SCS 3004 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
