Our president has just told us that we need an additional $87 Billion dollars for Iraq. I don't think I can comprehend how much that is. I tried dividing $87 Billion by the number of U.S. citizens - roughly 300 Million. I got $290 for every man woman and child in the country. But I'm not sure my answer is right, as I am not used to doing math with so many zeros.

My questions for you are would you have supported this war if you knew ahead of time that it would cost so much? Do you think we could have better spent that money at home? How much salmon recovery could we buy with $87 Billion dollars?
