This happens when you even think to trade oil in euros than in dollars :shifty:

$1.00 in 1944 had about the same buying power as $12.13 in 2008
$3,000,000,000.00 today had about the same buying power as $247,299,602.05 in 1944. We need to pay for the war in 1944 dollars.

Noithing new, I have referred to him and what he says two or three times in the past 2 months. Actually, 3 trillion is the calculation he claims to be the conservative calculation - he also gave estimations in the range of 5-5.5 trillion US$. the wider your definition of fincial cuts in the civilian and social and educational and health sector being made in order to shift the wins to the war financing, the higher the bill for the war becomes. So note that those 3 trillion dollars are the conservative calculation. Means:It could actually be even worse.

Darn. $250 billion in 1944 dollars would be a heckuva lot more expensive to buy now in 2008 than they would have been in 1944. If only we had thought of this back then... :damn:

Maybe we should concentrate on the illegals first - they are costing about double that amount for the same time period. That thread is in here somewhere. Need to find that again.

Is there a thread that you can't manage to get illegal immigrants into?
