A Little Perspective

The Iraq war has cost about $150 billion. A significant sum, and one that the anti-war elements criticize vehemently, putting a low price on freedom and national security in the process.

As they say, perspective can be helpful. In the last year alone, Americans did a lot of re-financing, pulling equity from their homes.

How much equity?

$600 billion -- four times what we've spent executing the war.
