The taxpayers of Phoenix, as a random choice city, have contributed over $598 million dollars to the cost of the Iraq war.

Compare the whole bill for this military excursion to other costs; for instance, noting that such a sum would pay to provide healthcare coverage for about 104,000,000 children.

Well now, that's interesting. We could pay for medical coverage of every child in the United States, and then some. But there are other priorities, it seems.

Tell me again how awful it was during the Clinton administration.
