The first summer we were in Iraq, and I think the cost was something like $2.9 billion per month, I actually tried to make a rough guess at my lifetime federal taxes.

Using rough numbers, and being conservative, I calculated that every dime I had ever paid, and every dime I ever would pay, in federal taxes would add up to enough to support the war in Iraq for .... six minutes.

Boy was that depressing!
