Reply #5: What can they POSSIBLY be spending it on?

[htuttle]

There is so much money being spent, if all they were doing with it was burning 100 dollar bills in a fire, they could hardly get rid of it this fast!

If they are spending about $1 billion a week on military spending in Iraq alone (give or take a few score million, but not counting 'reconstruction', which for some reason Bush expects others to pay for...), that divides out to $142,857,142.00 per day, or $5,952,381.00 an HOUR.

That's also $99,206.00 a minute, or $1653.43 per second. That would be roughly 16 one hundred dollar bills per second, every second. Day in, day out.

To completely oxidize 16 one hundred dollar bills in one second, you'd need a pretty damn hot fire.

And, indeed, Bush appears to have one.
