Pictorial representation of what the war has cost

Here is another perspective for the amount of $160,000,000,000.00. If you were to count at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take roughly 5,000 years to count out that much money -- don't lose your place now.
 
I liked this part:

"Three-Hundred-and-Sixty Thousand dollars ... You can buy a pretty nice house almost anywhere in America for that kind of cash."

Haha :eekers:

Perhaps "almost" anywhere, but not where I live. Around here, that gets you a condo -- a really small or old condo. You want a house? Shovel out at least $500,000.00. Do you want a new house? Shovel out at least $700,000.00. You want a big tract house, oh around 3,500 square feet? Backup the truck and unload a good $1.2 million or more. My 1,400 square foot attached-on-two-sides condo is going for $549,000.00 plus property tax, association dues, and melarouse.
 
Tell me about it...

Here you aren't getting more than 2 baths for under a million. You'd have to drive away from the ocean at least 50 miles before you found crappy homes for that price.
 
I'm waiting for those 3 or 5 year ARM loans to pass their fixed period and then watch people foreclose as interest rates begin to climb. Back in the mid-80s interest rates were at 11%. If they get near that price again, people will be walking out of their homes and leaving everything behind. At least my bank accounts will finally earn some decent interest. :D
 
Ah, but where in Kansas? My mother's house is just a little smaller than your parents', yet is valued at half as much.
