I'd also like to point out that $52 million is chump change compared with the $1 trillion we're projected to spend in Iraq. Even with what we have spent, if we can stabilize Iraq tomorrow for just $52 million more, then Obama would be a fool not to vote for it. In terms of the total federal budget, our government spent $1.9 trillion total. To put it in perspective, that 52 million is .002% of the total federal expeditures for the year.
